About National Museum Lagos

Nigeria's oldest and most significant museum, the National Museum in Lagos holds an extraordinary collection of artefacts spanning thousands of years of Nigerian civilisation. From the legendary Benin Bronzes to Nok terracotta figurines and intricate Igbo-Ukwu metalwork, the collection tells the deep story of a nation that was forging sophisticated art and culture long before European contact. A foundational stop for understanding who Nigerians are.
