    The museum is a good introduction to the igbo culture, traditional beliefs and religion. Our guide was knowledgeable , the entrance fee is 200 Naira per adult and you have a camera fee of 1500 Naira. Unfortunately it is not home to any of the original Igboukwu art pieces from what I was told a number of them can be found in the Jos and Lagos national museums. The building compound could also do with some maintance to make it more attractive - so dont let that scare you off.

    The museum houses many sophisticated bronze artifacts that predate other well known ones like the Ife bronze, Benin bronze of Edo state etc. Because many artifacts were lost, Igbo sons and daughters who were arts inclined were authorized to reproduce an imitation of some of them as a way to preserve the heritage. It's a wonderful place.

    Visiting the Igbo-Ukwu Museum was an incredible journey into the rich cultural heritage of the Igbo people. The museum's well-curated exhibits beautifully showcased the intricate bronze artifacts, pottery, and other archaeological treasures, providing an immersive experience that highlighted the remarkable craftsmanship and historical significance of the region. The knowledgeable and friendly staff enhanced the visit with insightful narratives, adding depth to the already captivating displays. The serene ambiance of the museum, coupled with its informative guided tours, made for a truly enlightening and unforgettable cultural exploration. A must-visit for anyone interested in delving into Nigeria's rich historical tapestry."

    This museum is iconic for its location t the site of one of the oldest civilisations in the rain forest belt. The famous Igbo Ukwu Bronzes were discovered barely 150 metres away. The displays are sadly a bit untidy and a lot of replicas are on display. Likewise the building is pretty tatty. However the staff are incredible, truly dedicated and friendly, inspite of the demotivating environment. I was touched by the refusal of one the staff to accept my grateful tip, saying he was merely doing his job. The artefacts on display are however worth visiting, do look out for the 800 year old Thumb Piano. Aso take a walk to Igbo Jonah, he site of the discovery of the 1000 year old Bronze art pieces

    Spectacular place... Alongside my cursory visit to the museum, I paid a visit to the Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife Okwadike I of Anambra State and the former Governor of Anambra State. It was a memorable time in Igboukwu town

    Igboukwu Museum stands tall in the archaeological essence and prominence of #Igbo land in general and #Anambra State where it is located in particular. Right from its renowned archaeological excavation of 1959, the interest on Igboukwu, Aguata Local Government Area has ever been renewed with each historical significant interpretation. Here, is a place to be explore by all, especially art students, history students, geographers and paleontologist. The mystery is yet to be unravelled and artefacts on transit from ages or stollen yearn to come back home to this museum.

The exhibits were a captivating journey through history, showcasing art, artifacts, and relics from bygone eras.The layout and presentation were impeccable, making it easy to absorb the historical significance of each exhibit. It's a place that offers a sense of wonder, where you can step back in time and appreciate the achievements of our ancestors. This museum is a gem for anyone seeking to connect with the past and gain a deeper understanding of our shared history.

    The ancient culture of Igbo-Ukwu (meaning “Great Igbo”) left behind a rich record of visual art with impeccable craftsmanship and complex symbolism. It is possible that the ancient culture of Igbo-Ukwu represents the ancestral legacy of the Igbo/Ibo people, one of Nigeria’s largest ethnic groups.

    The Igbo-ukwu Museum of Art is a world-class art museum, with a collection that spans 5,000 years of art history. From ancient Egyptian artifacts to modern art masterpieces, there is something for everyone at the Met. The museum is massive, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to explore. The gift shop is also worth a visit, with unique art-inspired gifts available for purchase. The Met is a must-see for any art lover visiting the south-east of Nigeria.
