    Nike art gallery is the closest I've been to art and beauty. Its a collection of beautiful and creative minds finding expression on a canvas. I was blown away by the design of the gallery, the serenity, the ambience,...it speaks class. it was just awesome. I went with my friends and I was oppotuned to see the owner herself. She was amazing. She explained to us everything we asked and she did it with a warm smile on her face. The arts are for sale so if you like any one of them, you indicate interest and they'll take it up from there. They also sell adire clothes in the form of polo top, bubu,... jewelries and many more. Also outside you can sit and eat and just enjoy art and nature combo.

    Amazing art gallery. The gallery is massive with outstanding and artistically crafted frames and pictures. If there are many people, the car park to the buildings takes a few cars hence others park outside the gate. At the entrance, you will need to read the guidelines. Take note that you don't take direct pictures of the works but light do selfie. You could climb the stairs to admire the beautiful works of talented men and women displayed at the gallery. Many of them speaks our language as Lagosians, Nigerians and Africans. This facility is worth visiting yearly. There are adores fabrics and beads to purchase. There is a store outside the main building to purchase items locally designed to adore your body, office , cars and home. I had fun and smiled most of the times while glued on each pieces I admired. Entrance is free. I had fun with my family.

    This is an art gallery that meets world standards (in my opinion), even if you don’t know / love art, the place will cause a paradigm shift in you. Seeing art created with unbelievable elements such as scraps was absolutely exciting to see for me. Great place to visit on a date, with family and friends too. And of course, amazing picture spots, although you are NOT ALLOWED to take pictures of their artworks.

    Let me start with this: Amazing collection of arts. If you love art, this place will feed your eyes for days. This is about 2 stories of just arts and sculptures stacked up. I really had so much fun visiting. Things to note: 1. It's Free to enter, no fee needed, you just have to register on a log book at the entrance. Parking is free also. 2. they close by 6pm WAT. 6pm is 6pm to extra minute more. 3. The arts are for sale but they don't put the price labels on them, you would have to go ask over the counter. 4. The arts are expensive.

    The Art Gallery was nice. There's a well for Nigeria past and present president. The painting if the 1st, 2nd and 3rd mainland bridge in one big painting, that is lovely. Though some items that should be cheap are extremely expensive (hand bracelet made from local beads).

    I loved the entire experience. There was so much artwork to see. Do take your time to walk thru each floor. There are many pieces of art that include sculptures, mixed media art and many paintings. If you are an art collector or you just an art lover this is the best place to pick an art for your apartment.

    It was very cozy and beautiful. There’s no payment on entry and you can just go in and feed your eyes with the beautiful art works. The lighting is so great so when you take pictures it comes out beautifully. A guided tour is available for 2000 naira per person. Noise making is not allowed and carrying big bags or food items is also not allowed. It was a beautiful experience overall

    The best art gallery I’ve been to. I’m not sure I saw half of the art on display because it’s a lot. Entry is free for individuals without any tour guide. You can request for one if you wish.

  • 5/5 Omotola A. 2 years ago on Google
    I could have easily spent the whole day here looking at the paintings, sculptures and other art pieces. There's so much I could not see them all. I noticed many of the paintings were recent, meaning they change them constantly. I'll definitely visit again, you cannot see finish here! I must mention that the entry was free...yup!

    If you are a lover of art, this is where you will spend all your time. With over 25,000 art pieces, the Nike Art Center is a sprawling 3 floor showcase of fantastic art pieces. You will stop and stare a lot. The art pieces will keep you puzzled. They will push you into the mind of the artist that created it. At the end, you will be marveled at how much creativity exists all around us. I absolutely enjoyed my time here just soaking in all of the beautiful and stirring art pieces. If you are visiting Lagos, Nike Art Center should definitely be in your top 10 places to visit. You will love it!

    Nike Art Gallery is one of my favourite places in the whole world. The loveliest artworks all over the walls, makes it a very beautiful house of art. Various types and styles of sculptures at the entrance are made from a variety of materials. The external walls are also expressed in art. If you're lucky, you get to meet Mama Nike herself, who's the most beautiful soul.

    Nike Art gallery is a great place for family to visit and explore the beauty of visual arts. An extensive collection of paintings, sculpture, furniture, jewelry etc. There's something for every taste, every age and every requirement. Though it may appear pricey, the potential appreciation based on the selection available guarantees a great investment.

    We've got some amazing talents in this country! The pieces were all Nigerian and they were amazing. From the metal works to the oil paints, even the sculptures were detailed. Everywhere was covered with art, the ceiling the walls, even the furniture were art inspired. A great place to feast your eyes on beauty. I met Ma Nike, she's got a humble and amazing personality. Also met the husband? He's got a good sense of humour. He ended up talking to I and my partner from every topic ranging from art to relationship. I'd recommend this 100 stars!! 🌟

    Either you love art or not, you must fall in love with this stunning art gallery. It was packed full of diverse art work from entrance up to the last floor of the building. We were fortunate to meet Mama herself at the gallery on that day, very pleasant woman. This is highly recommended place to visit in Lagos, Nigeria.

    It's such an amazing place to be. So beautiful to see thousands of finely crafted artworks paintings, and concepts in a so well organized environment. You'll be thrilled by the creativity and beauty. If you're looking for a place tour destination in Lagos, then you should go experience the Nike Art Gallery, you'll be inspired. Another amazing thing is the fact that entrance is free. The staff and owners of the facility are also very friendly and hospitable. You can even get to meet Madam Nike herself, she's an amazing woman. God Bless her real good.

    Nike Art Gallery is one of the most exquisite Nigerian art galleries that showcases African art in its demure form. This gallery appreciates art and proudly displays them, encouraging the promotion of African culture and traditions. The service was good, the workers were kind to all, and Mrs Nike (the gallery owner) was a darling with her warm and friendly personality towards everyone she greeted, including myself. I would say that I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the Nike Art Gallery; it is a place to revisit.

    ✨ I had a fantastic experience at Nike Art Gallery Lekki. The vibrant and diverse collection of artworks captivated me. Though Photos/videos wasn't allowed due to the artwork being for sale, I managed to sneak a few shots. Regardless, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it was an overall enjoyable first visit. 💜

    Nike Art Gallery is the sanctuary for art lovers. The ambience of the centre, hospitality, warmness and graciousness exuded by the staff is exemplary of its founder, Nike Okundaye. There are more to see than I can describe. Do well to put in enough cash in your plan. There are lots of lovely souvenirs you can buy.

    The pride of Nigeria art world. Powerful legacies of skillful artists the world is yet to see. Here, you get lost in the world of arts. Your mind and creative self begins to wonder. We almost compose a poem for each work of art. The arts are affordable compared to foreign prices.

  • 4/5 Divine Madu (. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of visiting the NIKE ART Gallery in Lagos and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The gallery boasts an impressive collection of traditional and contemporary African art that is simply breathtaking. As someone who is passionate about African culture, I was thrilled to be able to immerse myself in such an amazing display of art. The paintings at the NIKE ART Gallery are truly stunning. Each piece is so unique, with vibrant colors and intricate details that draw you in and captivate your attention. I found myself lost in the stories that each painting told, and I couldn't help but appreciate the immense talent and skill of the artists. The wood works at the gallery were equally impressive. The level of craftsmanship that went into each piece was remarkable, with intricate carvings and beautiful finishes that made the wood look like a work of art in itself. I was especially drawn to the wooden masks and sculptures, which were so detailed and lifelike that they almost seemed to come alive before my eyes. But what really got me excited was the metal works. As someone who loves metal art, I was thrilled to see such an incredible collection at the NIKE ART Gallery. The metal sculptures were so unique and imaginative, with intricate designs and beautiful finishes that really showcased the talent of the artists. I was particularly impressed with the large metal sculptures that dominated some of the gallery's rooms. They were so striking and beautiful, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as I stood before them. Overall, my experience at the NIKE ART Gallery in Lagos was truly amazing. The quality of the art on display was exceptional, and the staff members were so knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this gallery to anyone who has a passion for art, culture, and creativity. It's an experience that you won't soon forget.

    A lovely art gallery at Lekki. Free entry. You can stay as long as you wish. Though one's not allowed to take direct pictures with the artwork, one can take pictures with them in the background. The artwork are also for sale, you're free to purchase anyone that catches your fancy.

    Have you recently moved to Lagos? Or you’re looking into starting your own Interior Decor company? Nike’s Art Gallery has a variety of amazing pieces of art. Often times, explorers even get to meet the work’s artiste. (So if you’re also looking at getting better with paper and pencil, I’d advise you come). Entry is free. All you have to do is scan a code upon entry.✅ There’s a food place inside I guess but I didn’t check it out due to personal pocket reasons. The only thing you’re basically not expected to do is touching the works displayed.

    A treasure trove of art and sculpture. Some of which is remarkably exquisite, including pieces by the gallery owner herself. Sculptures of animals in the external courtyard were astonishingly animated and visceral. The pieces would have benefited from having a museum label/ caption information attached, as I would have name checked the artists here. The staff are very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend a visit (entry is free) if you have some time off in Lagos. 1 hour is sufficient, but allow 2 hours to really enjoy it.

    It was a marvelous experience. I loved the artworks, bright bold representations of thoughts and beauty. You should definitely visit if you’re in Lågöş. The sculptures are elegant and you just wish you could own them all. The gallery is well lit and fully air conditioned. The staff are friendly and willing to help. It’s free to enter and it’s located at lekki, google maps can direct you better. If you’re an art lover, this will definitely please you, It’s also a wonderful place for dates. Food and drinks are not allowed in the gallery, so don’t plan on taking any.

  • 5/5 Joy E. 2 years ago on Google
    The gallery is so so so beautiful. Guys!!!! It’s a must visit. It holds so much beauty and history. I absolutely recommend. The staff are very pleasant. We didn’t have a guide which would have been very helpful, regardless, I had fun seeing amazing paintings that brought back memories. If you have a weekend where you want to draw positive energy, meditate, go site seeing, cool off, this is the place to be! By the way, I went on a weekday so there wasn’t much crowd. You may want to put that into consideration. I highly recommend!
