National Museum, Ibadan

The National Museum in Ibadan preserves the heritage of southwestern Nigeria, with strong holdings in Yoruba art and archaeology. Its galleries display bronze and terracotta sculpture, carved doors, masks, textiles and ritual objects that document the region's kingdoms and craft traditions. Exhibits trace the material culture of the Yoruba and neighbouring peoples, from courtly regalia to everyday tools. Ethnographic sections illustrate beliefs, festivals and social organisation.
