Ibibio Museum

Ibibio Museum has an outstanding aesthetic. The fresh air conditioning and natural decorated environment make it more appealing to visitors.

It's a popular place of choice for lovers, hence the name " LOVE GARDEN".

Fantastic display of artwork...my experience would have been better had the artwork come with background stories or explanation of some sorts. That's the whole point of visiting museums...to be able to connect with our history. Even worse, there was no guide to walk on through to take one through our rich history.

However, you can tell the artworks are authentic and the stories behind them waiting to be told.

In terms of facilities, it's also poorly maintained with dust everywhere,, there was no AC or fan so the place was quite dusty and stuffy, the security at the entrance was also billing me to let me in.

In all, I loved walking around the museum and taking pictures but there were no stories or learnings to take away. I hope they do better because it's situated on such a beautiful , wide expanse of land and it could be so much better especially since that's the state museum.

Very nice outstanding works of art on display in this museum. It has a lovely ambience and good space. It's located in a very nice part of Uyo,close to Christmas Village. I like the green scenery around it,large expanse of land and space.

♿✅ The building stands out even from a very far distance,like a city set on a hill. It has multiple entrance and I counted two accessible entrance for wheel chair. I like the circular shape of this museum,you just go round and admire the Ibibio work or art which speaks of their culture. It doesn't have much,but the few images and paintings there are good. I saw president Attah image there as well !!!
Nevertheless the place is in need of maintenance and care. There is a need to value our culture and preserve it. My visit there was quite short but anyway...

Was there in the early hours of the day. . .overnight rains made the weather cool. Thought evoking architecture and strategically placed pieces on display made for a beautiful setting.
Ample green areas for group picnics and possible contemplation. . . .a place to go every now and again.

Beautiful environment, unique structure but the museum itself, if I can call it that, is dead. It looked more like an art gallery than a museum.

I travelled from another state in Nigeria to see it and the doors were locked and have been that way for months. All the pictures i took of the place were taken from outside the building.

Cowebs hung visibly from the ceiling to the floor. It was saddening to see that beautiful structure go to waste like that.

If you intend to go there on excursion, my advice is don't bother yourself.

Im looking forward to returning to see this museum in it's true glory. I had a chance to visit in March 2021 and it was partially open. I'm praying that by December this place will be open and the sculptures and paintings will return to their mounts and this beautiful museum will come back to life.
