National Museum
Occupying prime position on Lagos Island in the centre of the
city, the National Museum contains a number of treasures and
cultural relics of great interest. Take your diary along to record
the experience as photography is not allowed. Highlights include
the exhibit 'Treasures of Ancient Nigeria: Legacy of Two Thousand
Years' and the bullet-ridden black Mercedes in which former
president Murtala Mohammed was assassinated in 1973. Also not be
missed is the gallery of Benin brasses and the crafts village,
where you can haggles for souvenirs.
Information & Facts
Address
Admission
Language
English is the official language in Nigeria and is widely
used, though many other languages are also spoken.
Money
Nigerian currency is the Naira (NGN), which is divided into 100
kobo. Approved exchange facilities include the major hotels and the
airport, but official rates are very high. It is illegal to change
money on the street. Credit card fraud is a problem and visitors
are advised against the use of credit cards throughout the country.
Credit card facilities are also limited. Facilities for changing
travellers cheques are also very limited. Prior to travel, visitors
should ensure they have a variety of currency options available to
them (Sterling, US dollars or Euros) in cash. Travellers should be
aware of the prevalence of commercial fraud in, and emanating from,
Nigeria.
