My journey through the Egba Museum was incredibly moving. The depth of historical storytelling is captivating, making the figures and stories of Old Abeokuta come alive. I felt a deep, personal connection to a past I knew so little about. A beautiful and educational experience I won't forget.

An absolute treasure in the heart of Abeokuta. Bringing my students here was the highlight of our term. The way the museum preserves the history of the Lisabi warriors and the Egba people is world-class. It’s not just a collection of items; it’s a living classroom for our children.

I’ve visited museums all over West Africa, but the Egba Museum stands out for its authenticity. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the significance of the Olumo Rock history and the intricate patterns of the vintage adire fabrics. Truly an immersive experience.
