About Edo Museum of West African Art

EMOWAA — the Edo Museum of West African Art — is one of the most anticipated cultural institutions in Africa, currently under construction in the GRA. Designed to house a significant portion of the Benin Bronzes being repatriated from European museums, it will become the most important repository of Benin Kingdom art in the world when it opens. The museum's architecture, designed by David Adjaye, is itself a major commission that reflects the ambition of a project that represents not just the return of objects, but the return of a narrative.

Solid visit — would recommend to friends.

Could easily spend half a day here. Every gallery reveals something new about our rich heritage. No hesitation recommending this to fellow travellers.
