National Museum Benin City

Mat Ice eatery is a small cute eatery in the outskirts of Benin City. From Ring road to New Benin and then to Aduwawa...you can't miss. The lighting, furniture, air conditioners are simply wow...a music is a load though but it's okay

Great collection of artifacts, and the tour guide shared interesting information. However, the exterior of the museum could be better maintained given the historical significance of the Benin Kingdom.

Beautiful! I learned a ton about the early Benin empire. The curator was knowledgeable about her stuff and I loved the whole experience. I really hope the Government can take preservation very seriously going forward.

We had a school excursion to the facility. Its a place to learn about the rich heritage of the ancient Bini Kingdom. You'd see portrait, sculptors, woodcarving, and so on and so forth. They depict the rich heritage that has been in existence in the land.

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

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

This place holds lovely artefacts and it is well preserved, a job well done by the curator. The tour guide did a great job as well, explaining every the meaning behind every artefact. I had a great time here

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.
