Nike Art Gallery
Four floors of West African art - the largest private collection on the continent. Free entry, and the textiles alone are worth the trip.
Guide
Things to do in Lagos
Lagos is Africa's great megacity: 15 million people, Afrobeats, Nollywood, the markets, the beaches, the traffic. Chaotic, creative, unforgettable - and the art scene alone justifies the trip.
Photos for Lagos are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
Art and culture
New Afrika Shrine
Fela Kuti's shrine: the live Afrobeat nights (Thursdays/Sundays are the classics), the museum, the energy. The essential Lagos night.
Kalakuta Museum
Fela's house turned museum: the bedroom, the outfits, the history. Book the tour.
History
Freedom Park
The colonial prison turned arts park: concerts, the museum cells, the food court. The Island's cultural living room.
National Museum
The Benin bronzes (the originals' story), Nok terracottas, the heritage collection. An hour well spent.
Green and beach
Lekki Conservation Centre
The canopy walkway (Africa's longest), monkeys, the boardwalk through the forest. The nature break, 30 minutes from VI.
Elegushi / Oniru Beach
The ocean beaches: surf, horse rides, the Sunday crowds. The Lagos weekend.
