    Kalakuta museum is a must go for any Fela fan, and for those who want to know more about him. It was a really wonderful experience, kudos to the tour guide, he gave detailed explanation and stories about everything and anything Fela-related. The highlight was seeing Fela's room ๐Ÿ˜ฑ, the way he left it before he died, amazing view I tell you.

    When we arrived, we paid the entrance fee. the tour guide was not present. So, we went to the rooftop restaurant and had a delicious lunch. Afterwards, we went back downstairs and the museum guide gave us a detailed tour of the museum. I loved the visit to the museum. I had never heard of Fela Kuti. So, on that beautiful day the guide, inside the museum, taught me everything about him. We were 6 people in the group. I highly recommend the tour and lunch at the rooftop restaurant.

    Kalakuta museum was very historical in learning about Fela's life and history. It was good to see the journey of activism and his musical history as well. There were a lot of art in the house which I loved ๐Ÿ˜ There was art from a Fela event where the winner's art is showcased in the Museum. Overall, this was a great initiative to keep and preserve Fela's history. His musical instruments and clothes are also available. Man really had style!!

    I enjoyed hearing the story of Fela, his phenomenal music and legacy. It would be great if the museum could include a video/sound booth with VR headsets where guests can experience some of this. The feeling would be soo much better.

    Was nice going back there after so many years. I particularly liked the tour on the traditional ways of how things where don in the past from birth to death. Well organized. Unfortunately one can't take photos in there which is cool because it makes you want to know what is actually in there. I enjoyed it.

    The environment is beautiful with some large playground or picnic area for children and adults . I even saw some children come in for excursion. If you're a picture freak like me, I'm sorry but no camera is allowed inside the building. But you can snap outside. The gate fee is 200 naira which I think is super fair. I didn't get to enter inside though cos I was late for an event but I will surely go another time. From what I saw , it's a good place for art lovers and adventurous people.

    A TRIP TO KALAKUTA MUSEUM (kalakuta ) Fela Anรญkรบlรกpรณ Kuti (born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti; 15 October 1938 โ€“ 2 August 1997), also known as Abami Eda, was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, composer, political activist, and Pan-Africanist. He is regarded as the pioneer of Afrobeat, an African music genre that combines traditional Yoruba percussion and vocal styles with American funk and jazz.At the height of his popularity, he was referred to as one of Africa's most "challenging and charismatic music performers".All Music described him as a "musical and sociopolitical voice" of international significance. KALAKUTA Republic was the name musician and political activist Fela Kuti gave to the communal compound that housed his family, band members, and recording studio. Located at 14 Agege Motor Road, Idi-Oro, Mushin, Lagos, Nigeria, it had a free health clinic, and recording facility.Fela declared it independent from the state ruled by the military junta after he returned from the United States in 1970. "Kalakuta" was a mockery of a prison cell named "Calcutta" that Fela inhabited.The name was originally derived from the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta dungeon in India. โ–ช๏ธHis father Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti. He was a clergyman and an educator. He was first a teacher, then a principal.Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti (1891-1955) Eminent Nigerian churchman, educationist and administrator, he was the founding president of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Africa's largest professional group. He was born on 30 April 1891, to an Egba family in Abeokuta. His father was Reverend Canon J. J. Ransome-Kuti well known for his outstanding administrative competence as well as his talents as a singer, which earned him the nickname "the Singing Minister." Israel Oludotun was born at the Anglican parish of Gbagura, Abeokuta, where his father was serving as a teacher/catechist. โ–ช๏ธHis Mother Chief Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, born Frances Abigail Olufunmilayo Thomas; 25 October 1900 โ€“ 13 April 1978), also known as Funmilayo Anikulapo-Kuti, was a Nigerian educator, political campaigner, suffragist, and women's rights activist. She was the first woman to drive a car in Nigeria,She dumped her Christian name Funmilayo had Frances Abigail informally removed from her official names. This was done after she returned from schooling in Britain. The reason for this, UNESCO posit, is due to the racism she encountered abroad and She was the first woman appointed to the Western House Apart from receiving the chieftaincy title of Oloye of Yoruba people, Funmilayo was also the first woman to be appointed to the Western House. The Western House is a post-colonial assembly, either legislative or advisory, that is recognised by either a national or regional government as consisting of and providing a collective, public voice for an ethnic group's pre-colonial authorities. โ–ช๏ธHis 2 BROTHERS Olikoye Ransome-Kuti (30 December 1927 โ€“ 1 June 2003);a paediatrician, activist and health minister of Nigeria and Dr. Bekolari Ransome-Kuti (2 August 1940 โ€“ 10 February 2006) was a Nigerian medical doctor known for his work as a human rights activist. were medical doctors while his ONLY SISTER Dolapo Ransome-Kuti was a Nurse. โ–ช๏ธAkinwande Oluwole Babatunde Soyinka, known as Wole Soyinka, is a Nigerian playwright, novelist, poet, and essayist in the English language is Fela's cousin โ–ช๏ธFela's lawyer ;Femi Falana,SAN(a Nigerian lawyer and Human right activist) is also the father to Folarin Falana popularly known as FALZ THE BAD GUY.Femi Falana was always trying to show sympathy towards people, is well known for opposing oppression from successive military authorities.Falz is following his footprints. Listening to FELA'S music is not enough to understand his message, visiting his resting place would give you a clearer picture of what his life and time was about. N:B For every picture you see here,there is a message /meaning attached to it. ยฉ๏ธNwosu Chioma,R.N #tourlife #NurseChummy

    I had personal assignment that landed me to Ikeja one April Tuesday, after I wound up my assignment, off I went to Felaโ€™s residence, The Kalakuta Musuem also at Ikeja, Lagos, sadly I wasnโ€™t all packed to sleep over. Well yes there is lodging available at The Kalakuta Museumโ€ฆthis would be a tale for another day. I walked into the compound, Fela is everywhere.Thereโ€™s a backdrop wall art depicting shades of Fela, just before you walk into the front door. At the front door is a friendly front desk lady, very welcoming and beside her is a warm charming young man, โ€˜Biodun โ€“ heโ€™d be my tour guideโ€ฆhe serenaded me to a couple of Felaโ€™s songs too. I had already made my findings prior to my visit, so I knew I had to pay a mandatory NGN 1,000 entry fee. My tour of Felaโ€™s home commenced ,The Kalakuta Museum. The ground floor houses a number of Felaโ€™s album covers, thereโ€™s also a room stocked with Fela Souvenirs. They were two highlights to my tour โ€“ Felaโ€™s bedroom and the rooftop bar; absolutely love what was done with the space. I love the fact his room is intact โ€“ just the way he left it after he passed on (well apart from the post mortem awards displayed). The rooftop bar, I love the ambience and of course for the food and drinks There are lots of pictures up the wall and in the many rooms as you ascend the floors depicting times in the life of Fela.

    The rail line and train history of Nigeria will not be complete without this edifice. An ancient architecture well preserved. A house for one of the colonial engineers. This place is accessible to the public for the history of railway in Nigeria. It's amazing place to visit. It's good place to bring children in order to learn the history first hand.

    This museum was founded in 1957 by English Archeologist Kenneth Murray. The museum is located just by the boundary between Lagos Island and Ikoyi separated by the popular Onikan round about. The museum is surrounded by very monumental buildings of great historical value which includes the former senate building, house of representatives building, The Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, BRT park, The Muson Center, City Mall, former Ecowas secretariat, Zone 2, Onikan Stadium, The Lagos State government house, Remembrance Tunnel, the Army remembrance Arcade, one of the 1st public swimming pool (now closed) and the new Lagos State Museum (under construction). The museum has Nigerian art, including pieces of statuary carvings, archaeological and ethnographic exhibits. I prefer taking a tour with the tour guard because they tell you everything about the museum. I had a wonderful time. I grew up around the museum so I have been there countless times, I visited the museum too a lot of times since I moved away from there. Overall, it is was a wonderful experience. I would go back anytime, any day. The fee is just a token. No pre appointment required. The museum has a very spacious compound that can be used for picnics, group gatherings etc. There is ample parking space. The area is one of the safest in Nigeria.

    I was glad to be at this museum, glad to know there's a museum that has been erected to honor Fele K..Yet, the museum seems incomplete. I think it could benefit from being an interactive type of museum. A more refined polished look, befitting the legendary Afrobeats king is needed. At the end of the tour, l was glad to have met Fele's son at the museum...

    It is an exciting walk through the life of one of humanity's most outstanding social critics and musicians. Perhaps not a surprise to many, but I didn't know that Fela founded a political party. So, reading his partyโ€™s manifesto was a pleasant surprise!

    It was incredible to see how a part of the rich history of Fela's life is conserved. We started the tour from the ground floor, which opened with his old album covers, most of which were designed by Lemi Ghariokwu. It was interesting to walk through pieces of Fela's life, see his old room, his clothes and collection of shoes. The family portraits and snippets of his life on stage, were especially memorable. There's ample parking space, a rooftop bar, where I taught an art class (FUN!), and Fela's final resting place sits beautifully within the compound.

    Elegushi beach in itself is a beauty to behold. The water has a character that can be felt. However, the environment still needs to be developed either by the government or the private sector. The locals charge unreasonably and the sad reality is that the money doesn't go into developing the area. In all, fun is assured with spots for amazing photos.

    Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art, Pan-Atlantic University, is one of its kind and such a magnificent edifice to behold. I have been inside this orange cube two times since its construction work started. One of its features that fascinates me is the interior design. It is such that when you are inside it, you get this sense of being a spectator and a spectacle at the same time. It will indeed be a place of encounter with African culture, history, and creative ingenuity. I look forward to its opening in October .

    As an art enthusiast, walking into the Yemisi Shyllon Museum was like homecoming. From the exteriors of the museum all the way to its interiors, the museum is doused in artistic appeal. It boasts a variety of conventional and unconventional art works that will appeal to a broad range of art enthusiast, sometimes to the point of awe and wonder. Art lovers would relish this atmostphere that has been carefully created inside the Musuem, an atmosphere of beauty and artistic freedom. The only downside is that the Museum is miles away from Lagos Mainland. If you're coming from Lagos Mainland, I would advice that you devote a full day to touring the grounds of the museum. Leaving the mainland early would be great too. For those living on Lagos Island, the distance is not as bad.

    From the entrance of the YSM Art gallery, you may sense the simplicity of an art gallery, that urges you on into the world of art. But as you walk through the snaky path of the gallery, you realize that you have embarked on an extraordinary adventure, discovering works of art that you would have only been privileged to hear of but not to see. There, you rediscover yourself, as you go through the history of Nigerian arts and culture. Thanks to Solomon who demystified the art works with his elaborate stories. It was a wonderful experience for me as well as the others in the team, having the pleasure of touring the museum with Prof. Pat Utomi, who was also infatuated with the artworks. Everything is Art.

    Great space filled with a diverse range of artworks mostly by Nigerian artists. I would recommend to request a tour by very knowledgeable curators / museum staff and let them go through each piece. The museum is located in Lekki, which is about a 2-hour drive from Lagos, but it is worth visiting the place and spending time there.

    National Museum is the perfect exposition of the history of Nigeria and its diverse cultural heritage. The museum was constructed in 1957. It showcases the works of art dating back to the era before Nigeria got independence. The museum narrates the story of the journey of Nigeria through the years. The Nigerian National Museum displays historical monuments and contemporary arts such as Nok Terracottas, brasses from Benin City, etc. One of the significant historical monuments you will find at the museum is the bullet-riddled car in which Nigeriaโ€™s former Head of State, Late General Murtala Mohammed was assassinated in 1976. The Nigeria National Museum is located at Awolowo Road, opposite Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos Island

    Theย Jaekel houseย is a beautifically restored classic colonial mansion, located within the grounds of the Nigerian Railway Corporaton, Ebute-Metta, which is on Lagos mainland. It is now a mini Museum and photo Exhibition celebrating the prime of the Nigerian Railway Corporation during colonial times. The design and construction of the building allowed for the flow of naturally occurring breeze, which helped to cool the house and was typical of colonial houses built in equatorial latitudes around the world. The Railway Compound itself is an oasis of tranquility, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city and is only a 15-minute traffic-free journey to and from Ikoyi.

    Fela was an inspirational musical figure. The museum is nice and well organized but does not appear to display his musical career as much as I'd expect. The focus appeared to be be only on his personal life / upbringing, which is nice to learn about. But I was disappointed by the minimal tribute to his musical career / talents aside from the photos of his album covers on the entry floor. Would recommend to learn more about his personal life. But to pay homage to his musical career, not the best place for that. It also serves as a hotel interestingly with a small bar on the rooftop so perhaps a great place to socialize.

  • 5/5 Eli 1. 4 years ago on Google

    It was a long drive to the Yemisi Shyllon Museum from where I live in Lagos (2 hours) but the visit was worth it. What I particularly enjoyed was the use of space by the museum, so that the Museum felt larger than it actually was. I was also impressed by how well their selection of works mixed ancient Nigerian art - like authentic Nok heads - with the best of contemporary Nigerian art like the surreal wooden carvings made from a single block without any joinery in a way that showed the continuity and development of art in Nigeria. Yemisi Shyllon Museum is now my default recommendation for anyone looking to get an idea of what Nigerian art, ancient and contemporary, looks like.

    The National museum is old but definitely has good potential and still provided some valuable insights into some aspects of Nigeria's history, customs and traditions. Unfortunately taking of pictures within the museum itself isn't allowed, hence the lack of pictures here. A visit there starts off with a walk through the courtyard (after paying a N300 entry fee) and its scattering of a few displays of artwork and information boards, followed by a walk through the interior area which turns out to be much more expansive than it appears from the outside. The interior contains a sizable display of different artifacts from several Nigerian tribes. It's mostly a self-guided tour (I.e. no tour guide) but most of the arts on display have small signs attached to them providing basic information about each artifact. With some investment to make the place a bit more modern and lively, the museum has potential to be a very good tourist attraction.

You are pretty much gone ๐Ÿ˜‚ Dislikes 1. The drinks are quite pricey. 2k for an orijin bitters doesn't make any sense and also they can't have bottle drinks. But I recommend it tho.

    Had a good time there. The tour was nice as I didn't know much about Fela Kuti. The tour guide assumes you do so remind him if you don't. It was interesting to see his home and learn about his life. #letsguide

    Lovely hotel, If you're making reservations on bookings.com, make sure you confirm the price from the hotel ahead of time so that you will budget well because there is discrepancies with bookings price (little difference though). All in all, excellent services and nice hotel.

    We visited the museum on a weekday afternoon. The place looked a bit dark inside and we were the only ones there. We paid N2.000 per person for a 15 minute tour. The tour guide was constantly patronizing us for not knowing the names of the places, people and events that he was talking about. I mean, we're clearly tourists/oyinbo's, there to learn something about the local history, the whole point of a museum in my opinion. At least recognize your audience! Even if you believe Fela was a great man, the tour didn't really do a good job to convey his story or why it was important for West Africa and Nigeria. I don't recommend anyone come here. The pictures and items on display were lackluster at best.

    I love going to the rooftop of fela house, it is a very chilled and quite place for hangout or just work. They have an in house cook. The food isn't all that great but very affordable

    Visited on a weekday afternoon, so understandably quiet. We had a tour guide which was very helpful.

    Learnt soo much about Fela , we had the chance to also meet his Son, Kunle Kuti, who gave us the tour and showed immense kindness to my friends and I.

    It was a wonderful walking through what use to be Felaโ€™s house it also has a relaxation spot to have a good meal after the tour.
