    I think it is an insult to the intelligent people of Kaduna to call this a National Museum. The only Gallery that is not privately owned or run that should be open and made accessible to all was closed. They said there was no power so the building is dark. Fine, okay, taking a walk in the compound was just like taking a walk in a miniature children recreational centre. Please, we can do better, please do. On the other hand, if you have some time to pass, you can stop by here. In less than 15 minutes you should be done

    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

    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.

    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.

    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)

    This place houses the remains of the crafts from the Ancient Benin Kingdom. It presents a very exciting experience with beautiful arts. Tour guides are very helpful here and entry fee is very cheap. There is a very spacious car park here. This is a good place for family excursions.

    You pay N1000 as entry fee and get a tour guide who'd escort you round the museum explaining pieces and answering your questions. You leave your bag outside in a bag closet so removing valueable is best. I really enjoyed learning about the Nok civilisation here. My tour guide Umar was the best. Very patient, kind and thorough.

    The splendid edifice that is the Kaduna National Museum is crawling with marvellous artefacts from the entire country. It is must visit for lovers of archaeological and ethnographic artefacts. Some of the Nok figurines found here date back over 2000 years and are as old as Christmas itself. If that doesn’t have you in awe, then I don’t know again.

    Located at the City centre, The Museum is one of the best in Nigeria, showcasing the rich history of the Benin people. The tour guide was very detailed, altogether it was a wonderful experience. We aren't allowed to take photos in the museum.

    Its a classic bar, a place one can really relax his/her mind because a bar (also known as a saloon or a tavern or sometimes as a pub or club, referring to the actual establishment, as in pub bar or club bar etc.) is a retail business establishment that serves alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, liquor, cocktails, and other beverages such as mineral water and soft drinks. Bars often also sell snack foods such as potato chips (also known as crisps) or peanuts, for consumption on their premises.[1] Some types of bars, such as pubs, may also serve food from a restaurant menu. The term "bar" also refers to the countertop and area where drinks are served. The term "bar" derives from the metal or wooden bar (barrier) that is often located along the length of the "bar".[2] Bars provide stools or chairs that are placed at tables or counters for their patrons. Bars that offer entertainment or live music are often referred to as "music bars", "live venues", or "nightclubs". Types of bars range from inexpensive dive bars[3] to elegant places of entertainment, often accompanying restaurants for dining. Many bars operate a discount period, designated a "happy hour" or discount of the day to encourage off-peak-time patronage. Bars that fill to capacity sometimes implement a cover charge or a minimum drink-purchase requirement during their peak hours. Bars may have bouncers to ensure that patrons are of legal age, to eject drunk or belligerent patrons, and to collect cover charges. Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band, vocalist, comedian, or disc jockey playing recorded music. Patrons may sit or stand at the counter and be served by the bartender. Depending on the size of a bar and its approach, alcohol may be served at the bar by bartenders, at tables by servers, or by a combination of the two. The "back bar" is a set of shelves of glasses and bottles behind the counter. In some establishments, the back bar is elaborately decorated with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights.

    Built in 1440 and still standing tall. Incredible!! Great place to learn about KANO’s rich cultural heritage and history. No entry fee required but you may have to tip the tour guide afterwards. It’s not a very big place so shouldn’t time to go round.

    Neat Environment, but lacks artifact to be exactly described as a museum. looks more like a picture/cultural exhibition center. The Nigerian Government should try stocking it up with rare and precious Nigeria artifact and historical objects.

  • 4/5 Deborah A. 4 years ago on Google
    The coronation of the sitting Oba of Benin held at Ring Road. While dignitaries like other Royal Fathers were hosted at the royal hall, observers like I and my students could access the National Museum with a pass card. The event was indeed a beautiful demonstration of the Benin culture. The national museum is definitely some place you should visit when you get the chance to. You can ask for a cab or taxi to drop you at Ring Road, then ask people nearby for specific directions to the place.

  • 5/5 Happy I. 4 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 samira l. 4 years ago on Google
    Not much to see and learn from. With all the history retold as folk tales in a country rich and diverse in culture one would think in a national museum will be a great display of history. That when one is walking through it will feel like one is going through a canvass lens of the past. Shame to a country of people that prides itself on culture,tribe,ethnicity and religion without preserving its history.

    So I've always known Arewa to be a library and museum of sorts. (Arewa House is a research center of sorts) They have the halls for events and all that but this past week I found something else I didn't know about Arewa House. They have accommodations called the Post Graduate Hostels! From outside it looks very unassuming but when we got in, the rooms are not bad at all. Clean and well kept. We had a thing with the sockets on the walls, but eventually that got fixed. Security looked good. Only ish is there isn't any food there. If you plan to stay there, just be sure to eat before coming in! 🤓

    A brief history of Gidan Makama Museum Kano State, Nigeria. This building served as temporary palace of Kano before the current palace. Gidan Rumfa was constructed in the 15th century, The museum has a significant collections of arts, crafts and items of historic interest related to the Kano area. Located in a 15th-century historical building, which is recognised as a National Monument by the Government of Nigeria. The museum is divided into eleven galleries, each with their own centre of focus. Galleries include the Zaure or the main entrance hall with displays of traditional materials, city walls and maps of Kano, the history of statehood, Kano in the 19th century, the Civil War, economy, industry and music. An open space inside the museum acts as a performance stage for a Koroso dance and drama group. The house was originally built in the 15th century for Muhammad Rumfa then the young grandchild of the monarch who had just been appointed Makama Kano, a traditional title in Kano. Rumfa later became King of Kano and then moved to a new palace but subsequent Makamas lived in the building. After the British capture of Kano in 1903, the place briefly served as an office for the colonial officers in Kano. The structure was later divided into three parts. One section became a museum ran by the Department of Antiquities, another became a primary school and a third maintained the original intention as a residential building. Gidan Makama is now part of museums under management of the National Commission of Museums and Monuments and one of the old structures visualise traditional Hausa architecture. The structure originally contained mud walls typical of the period but in later years some modern renovation work has taken place. Like i said earlier the museum has 11 galleries each containing materials, artifacts and pictures representing the historical heritage of the people. 1st gallery is about Hausa traditional architecture and includes building materials used by the people of Kano. 2nd gallery has the Kofar kabuga gates through which the British entered and subsequently captured Kano; it also has a map showing the walls of Kano 3rd gallery exhibits a traditional religious history of Kano in pictures and the story of the early invaders of Kano led by Bagauda 4th depicts the Fulani influenced history of Kano starting from the 19th century 5th gallery tells the story of Kano Civil war 6th gallery tells the story of old Kano economy and Durbar 7th gallery has the colonial period and pictorial history of 20th century political figures 8th includes the Islamic heritage of the people of Kano 9th shows various occupations of the people of Kano and includes farm instruments, basketwork and textiles 10th has music instruments 11th depicts the traditional Hausa bride's room. Hope these would be useful to students who are interested in studying history But im a Geographer.
