In the heart of Ethiopia's ancient walled city of Harar, more than 500 kilometres east of Addis Ababa, stands a museum dedicated to Arthur Rimbaud. It offers visitors the chance to discover a little-known period in the brief life of the French poet, who spent most of his final 10 years in East Africa.
Leaving the hustle and bustle of a street lined with tailors' shops and turning down a narrow alleyway, visitors arrive at one of the traditional wooden townhouses for which Harar is famous.
