Good to connect with History. Only issue with the place is that light is not too consistent

There was no light so we did not go in. They asked us if we were foreigners because the fee for indigenes is different from that of foreigners. Looks a bit unmaintained, goes without say, but there's a good bronze carving scene here.

Kind of like a ghost of what it used to be when I visited it as a kid. Most of the huts and vendor spots are empty. The real catch is the gallery..I think there's a fee (500naira)

One of better managed museums I visited in Nigeria. It costs 500 Naira per person and they have a museum exhibition guide you can buy. Its main focus is around the Nok Art within the context of Nigerian traditional arts. You will find quite a number of original artifacts and some replicas. The fee includes a guide. As usual no photographs allowed which does makes not much sense as they need the publicity

You wouldn't know a place this preserved existed. Though a new museum, it is definitely maintained and I hope they keep it up. They had a tutor. Cameras are allowed in some places, and some places, cameras aren't. However, I took advantage of the few I could capture.
