    Please, this place is highly recommended not just for lovers of history, it’s for everyone and I learnt a lot the day I visited. I got a better clarity on Benin Expedition in 1897 and more. Alot we need to pass down to our children and next generation

    Beautiful set up, located at the centre of the infamous Ring road, the museum comprises the gallery, administrative offices, departmental offices, library, kitchen, and various symbolic monuments. The Museum Gallery is the pride of this establishment, as it is well organized. The Gallery is a circular two storey building, that has majorly the Benin art displayed on the ground floor, Royal Court photography on the first floor, and unity in diversity artifacts on the second floor

    History is alive and well at the Benin Museum. The Museum has seen a remarkable improvement in the quality of the experience and exhibits since the last renovation that was done in 2017. Tickets for adults is N500 and children N300 and the tour guides provide quite a remarkable experience for everyone. Try to wear comfortable shoes and clothing because the tour can be exhausting across the 3 floors

    The Benin National Museum is located at King’s Square in the center of the Ring Road, making it quite a traffic hazard to try to walk to the museum entrance.The National Museum Benin City was opened in 1973. Currently, they are working to upgrade the building and redo the exhibits. As part of this effort NMAfA is planning to send Alonge exhibit components to the museum.NATIONAL Museum of Benin City started from the Oba of Benin Palace in 1940’s but the edifice we see today was officially opened to the public on August 10, 1973. The Museum contains priceless objects – of antiquities from Benin Kingdom and other parts of the country. The first known Benin Museum started in the Oba’s Palace. Benin Traditional art was becoming famous and to preserve it, the Oba decided to assemble the artifacts under the custodian of Chief Jacob Eghareba within the palace in the Royal House- of Iwebo.As time went on, people developed more interest in these treasures. There was pressure mounted for these objects to be made public. This collection was relocated to one room in the old tax office Ring Road in Benin. This was later moved to the Benin Divisional Council because of space and through the efforts of one Mr. K.C Murray-a surveyor of antiquities and art teacherIn. 1960, the Federal Department now National Commission for Museums and Monuments took over the custodian of the artifacts. The National Commission for museums and monuments was established under Decree 77 of 1979. Since then, Museum has been growing. The edifices that house the artifacts today, was built during Samuel Ogbemudia regime as the two derma Military Government of Bendel State. This house with the exhibits therein was officially open to the general public in August 1973 with the ground and first floor galleries. While the second or unit gallery - was opened to the public in August 1996 through the efforts of Dr. O.J Eboreime as the Curator then. Truly ancient, historical, beautiful, easily accessible & a must for all visitors, especially first time visitors. The park tells the ancient story of the ancient city of Benin. The Chief Custodian of the Culture and Tradition of the Binis.. HRM Ómó N'Óba N'Èdo Uku Akpólókpóló Óba Éwuare II , The God-King 👑 #benincity . Seeing some cultural artifacts and historical pieces a a must here! . The views around the museum interior are lovely. Seeing art and craft,hundreds and even a thousand years old was a humbling experience. do not leave benin without visiting. the place could use some face-lift but all in all,worth it. is a museum maintained by a state. In many countries it denotes a museum run by the central government, and often is restricted to a few museums, mostly in the capital, while other museums are run by regional or local government, or foundations. In other countries a much larger number of museums are run by the central government, some quite small. Some national museums use the term in their name, but others do not; some museums just adopt the term as a matter of branding.So come one come all ,to the great Benin kingdom to experience the treat.

    A good insight of custom, tradition, believes and insight, however we’re not allowed to snap. One should visit in person to get to know better about it. One point to be noted that this area is located on little but traffic heavy zone.

    It is situated at the centre of ring road in Benin City Nigeria. Historic artefacts are kept and preserved here for posterity purposes and other endeavours. But I will especially recommend that the location it is situated in be upgraded and refurnished adequately.

    I have visited this museum a couple of times in fact we recently held a press conference there with a team of Russian road travellers. This the best museum in Nigeria as far as I am concerned. They have found a way to raise funds through the friends of the museum to sustain and maintain the facility. This raise a good question about how is the museum is being funded.

    Over 3,000 collections of photographs and images found in the royal court of the Benin king’s Palace were on exhibition yesterday, at the National Museum in Benin, Edo State. The exhibited photographs were taken by Chief Solomon Alonge, photographer to the royal court of Benin over 50 years ago. The exhibition was organised by the United States Diplomatic Mission and the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art based in the United States. It followed a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the National Commission for Museum and Monuments and Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Arts of the United States which has the collections. A Speaking shortly before the commencement of the exhibition, United States of America Consul-General to Nigeria, F. John Bray, said Art, including photographs, represent freedom of expression in his country’s democracy, adding that the Smithsonian’s National Museum and National Museum of Benin have been working for many years to carry out the exhibition. Commending the two National Museums and the Edo State Government for their support, Bray said the exhibition was significant because it was the first time in the history, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art, Washington DC was holding an exhibition in Africa. He said: “I think we are delighted because this first exhibition in Africa is not only in Nigeria, it’s here in Benin City. So, this exhibition of Benin National Museum will go a long way in preserving the essential history of Benin people and exhibition of its leaders. The cultural heritage was a reminder of the contribution and experiences of the people. “The US Government seeks to show its respect for culture by assisting efforts to preserve cultural heritage around the world, including Nigeria. In his speech, Director-General of National Commission for museums and Monuments, Dr. Yusuf Usman, said the Commission had series of collaboration with museums around the world, stressing that “what makes this exhibition significant is that it comes with materials that have been taken out of Nigeria. “The Alonge archival materials left the country many years back and now we have a replica. We have replica and we are going to use this to tell the story of not just the Royal Court of Benin but also Benin City in the 19th century, to help us to understand where we are as a people, where we have been as a people,” said Usman. Responding to a question on Benin stolen art works in foreign countries, a Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum, Johnnetta Cole said it was incredibly important in their museum to honour where each and every object has come from. Cole added: “We have two figures and went to the government of Mali saying we were prepared to send them back. They told us they know where they are and proud that it is in the National Museum of African Art. If every work of African Art is returned to Africa, how will the rest of the world know of your arts, know of your culture, know of your history.

    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.

    It was nice but the attendants are not professional and there was no tour guide during my visit. It was a weekend so they have no excuses. It was exceptional for me because I got to see a dance group rehearsing for a performance which was not part of the museum package. The trip to the museum is worth it but you may have to do a lot of reading so going in an organized group is not advised and pictures / videos are not allowed. I will like to encourage them to include some sound effects and other effects to make it lively. Have fun!

    First I am very disappointed that cameras are not allowed inside the gallery to enable me document my visit. I also think that they need to employ qualified curators and guides. The gallery needs to be more airy. The gallery is rich in Benin Kingdom artifacts ranging from the bronze and terracotta works, military and defensive artefacts, gods and goddesses, shrines, agricultural artefacts, the stools and staff of the past Obas and other relics, etc. The also spot gods and goddesses from other parts of Nigeria. There are also on display the gifts between the Kingdom and the earliest Portuguese to visit the Kingdom. It's a good place to connect with the past.

    It is a place rich in History of the Benin Kingdom. Pictures are not allowed here. The staff members said we had to take a tour ourselves, no tour guide for us but they made available for foreigners. We got there one hour to closing hour and the one of the staff shouted at us to finish on time, because they are closing soon (1 hour), Lol. That was a cold reception and unnecessary. I don’t know if I want to go back there for any reason, I’ll just read more online.

    If you want to get aquatinted with the rich culture of Edo State, then you should visit the National Museum. The museum is vast and beautifully furnished with artifacts and sculptures. Need to pay a token to gain access.

    This museum provides you information on the Benin the Kingdom and the traditions and belief system of the benin people. It features different galleries and exibitions. The first exibition is the Oba Akenzua II Gallery, the second exbition is Chief S.O Alonge's works : The Photographer to the Royal Cout of Benin and the 3rd exibition focuses on Unity in diversity One of the interesting aspects for me was learning about the holy aruosa church benin and that is still stands till date. The entrance fee for the museum is 500 naira per person and they also have a museum brouchure for 500 Nairia. unfortunately like in most museums I have been to so far your aren't allowed to take pictures inside

    Still having its beauty and infrastructures as a landmark but has failed in the area of improvement and renovation. It's not frequently visited as before and strive to obtain it's name which might have been lost in mind of present generations cause of its inability to proster entertainment and fun. Thank you

    The National Museum Benin City, Edo State is a very beautiful place. It is filled with rich arts and culture of the great Benin Kingdom. It's a great place for both Adults and Children who want to relax or learn the rich history of the Benin Kingdom. If you are a lover of arts, you definitely do not want to miss this place. With the new renovation by the government, the experience is now even better than before. I recommend everyone visited the National Museum Benin City, Edo State.

    It was a nice place to be, neatly organized artifacts and the history of Benin in pictograms. The building's architecture was great and the staff are welcoming. But we weren't provided with a tour guide but it's probably because we were given free entry in respect to the NYSC uniform. Loved it.

  • 5/5 Adesoye O. 5 years ago on Google
    Simply amazing! The museum has been given a much needed facelift and the outcome is a tastefully decorated gallery. The interior is well lit and the plexiglass display cases are an awesome addition. The rich array of cultural artefacts from the Benin Kingdom is spellbinding; from intricate wood carvings to bronze works to earthenware. Also, the celebration of the life and works of foremost photography, Solomon Osagie Alonge, is exemplary. The museum is located in a prime spot, nestled in the lush centre of the Ring Road, in close proximity to the Oba's palace, Oba's market and other notable institutions. However, the downside is that it is extremely difficult for pedestrians to access the museum complex due to the large size(s) of adjoining roads. Wonderful place still!

  • 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.

    In a poor state if you ask me, the museum has to be more attractive to attract more tourists in the state

    It's a lovely place, gives a glimpse into the past especially in helping one create better mental pictures of what historical texts have tried to communicate.(it's good to know the texts we've been fed with are true😅) I would however suggest that tour guides should be available. I remember getting a ticket and being told to go ahead and i thought to myself, 'shouldn't there be a tour guide?" It was at the tip of my tongue to ask, but i let it slide seeing that i had an indigene with me who proved helpful. But even at that, having a more enlightened tour guide would have made the whole experience more educative and enjoyable. (While there is a possibility that there indeed may be a tour guide available, I don't think people have to ask before they're provided with one...🤷. I wouldn't mind going back there if that becomes rectified)

    National museum in Benin is a place where you can see the rich cultural heritage of the Edos. There are artifacts here that dates back to when the Europeans first came to Africa. The history of the lineage of the Obas are recorded here. Visiting this museum will give you a knowledge and thrill of a lifetime!!

    The museum are great, rich in history. Visited 3 museums with my kids and they have nothing to show for..Pictures are not allowed so there is no way for them to help spread their culture. Pictures should be allowed so people can motivate others to visit the museums.
