It was a wonderful experience. Our history and culture is interesting. Learning from the past infusing into the future and forging a new and interesting pathway.

A good place to learn about Nigerian history And artifacts
A fee of 500 naira for adults and 300 naira for childrens
It comes with a tour guide who explains the artifacts and arts

The arts portray the different cultures in Nigeria (their monarch histories, Crowns, Clothes and other stuffs)

It's strict about taking pictures of the arts or inside the museum

There's a room about Nigeria history before and after amalgamation
The colonial past and present head of state
Also the head of state during military regime and the presidents during democracy
The tour guide will tell you the history with the aid of pictures

Can't imagine a whole national museum without lights and we had to use our phone to do the tour. Its an interesting place but it should be free, no clear elaboration. No generator because its faulty, which they knew before entering buh we had to pay even.

There is a new children play-arena.
A good incentive to bring children and get some family time.

Everyone should visit this museum at least once in their lifetime. An eye-opening experience where you get to see relics and photos of the past. Entry fees are very affordable (N500 per person) and it's not as dusty and rundown as one may think

Very lovely place a bit scary ???? for my kids. You are not allowed to take pictures BUT I sneaked my phone inside. I went to catch cruise with the statues u0026 masquerades there. Sango Ogun Eyo etc.

The national museum Lagos is located in the heart of lagos Island just beside the Tafawa Balewa Square TBS, that makes it easily accessible. The roads leading here are also good and typically devoid of traffic except there is an event at either TBS or Onikan Stadium.
Though the museum doesn’t look attractive from the exterior, it holds a huge chunk of history. To be honest othing fascinated me in there. There are quite a number of notable features within the museum as you will be guided by a museum assistant at a small thank you fee.
There's a kitchen too ( i chop their fried fish hehehe ????)
Cameras are not allowed inside which is weird to me, but that’s the policy.
There is a small fee charged to access this place. Currently N500 for adult Nigerians and N1000 for non Nigerians.
The parking lot is big enough, but no accessibility (entrance and parking lot).
