Nigeria: At the Lagos Museum, you can even touch history!
In Nigeria, the National Museum in Lagos is getting a makeover! Its renovated galleries invite visitors—both young and old—to discover treasures from the past in a more fun and interactive way.
With new lighting, modernized display cases, and equipment to better protect the collections, the museum is transforming to provide a better experience for the public.
And here is the most surprising new feature: in one of the galleries, visitors can even gently touch certain selected objects! It’s a unique way to get closer to history.
The museum houses, among other things, precious archaeological artifacts linked to the Nok civilization—an ancient culture known for its magnificent terracotta sculptures.
This renovation, supported by IHS Nigeria and the National Commission for Museums and Monuments, aims to inspire young people to explore their own heritage.
Did you know? A museum isn’t just a place to look at old objects; it’s also a space for learning, exploring, and traveling back in time!
