This museum is a place to be. The art works in the gallery takes you way back in time. A wonderful setup of a passionate and exposed person; willing to share his history, pain, love, achievements and dreams with the world. This with the aim of inspiring people to follow after their dreams and loved ones. The museum name says it all, as he named it after his late sister: revealing the strength in the blood bond. I can't begin to explain the meaning of the artworks but trust me, you'd have a guide to show you around these beautiful masterpieces. The serene environment allows for the growth of healthy relationships, ideas, and an ideal place for study. I must mention the glory of the piano seated right under our heros past and the creative chair of merging the unthinkable in a graceful harmony. Our cultures are ably represented both in Nigeria and beyond. I give kudos to you Doc for this great invention.

This museum/gallery is small and quaint but has very beautiful art and memorabilia. No reservations are necessary and their viewing hours are free. They have temporary exhibitions and occasionally switch things up so you’re likely to see different collections if you have separate visits that are weeks/months apart. During my visit, I got to enjoy the collection of Uche Edochie and Ayoola’s art. I’m eager to visit again to discover more works of other local artists I don’t know about. The only downside of the location of the gallery is that it is not accessible to individuals with mobility issues. There’s only one entrance and it has a fairly long flight of stairs.

It was founded in memory of Edith Jibunoh (DIDI), late sister of the founder who died at an early age. The institution was inaugurated by His Royal Highness, Alhaji Ado Bayero, the Emir of Kano who is also the Charman of the Board of Trustees. The inaugural exhibition featured two painters, Kenny Adamson and Adam Ajunam and they exhibited over 75 works in the five-day exhibition. The number of visitors was about 1200. In the words of the then Director-General of the National Commission of Museums and Monuments, Dr Ekpo Eyo, “it was an excellent first attempt of this kind of venture by a private citizen”.

Didi Musuem is Nigeria's first privately owned Musuem and is synonymous with why majority of Nigerians patronize contemporary Nigerian art. A stellar organization that's committed to promoting the very best of what Nigeria and the continent has to offer when it comes to artistic expression.

Omg I was gobsmacked, tha arts were beautiful, the Benin and the Oyo enprire statutes transformed me back 200 years. I loved that they had books too, presently binging my Newton Jibunoh books from there

It's a place to be if you love arts. It's a private museum owned by Chief Newton Jibunoh. It has a wonderful display of Nigerian arts, that instantly make you feel connected to your roots. The ambience is also something to look forward to. I would definitely love to visit again.

"My visit to the art center was okay. While there were some interesting pieces on display, I felt it could use a bit more variety in its collection. It's a good place for art enthusiasts, but I believe there's room for improvement." ⭐⭐⭐

Nice collection of exquisite rare artifacts in a public friendly environment. Kudos to the proprietors for the sustenance of the ambiance of the Gallery.

It's a beautiful and portable space for exhibitions and to hold conversations while overlooking the houses/spaces around. There is also a lot of history kept in Didi Museum. It's definitely worth a visit.

Small Museum but interesting collection. The curator was very friendly and thoroughly described the stories behind each object amongst their collection. Would definitely recommend a visit when in Lagos.

Didi's private museum is a cool place if you're a lover of art, it has no access fee and they have exhibitions of different contemporary artists from time to time..ambience and facade is beautiful.

As far as I know, Nigeria's only private museum owned by Dr. Newton Jibunoh, popularly known as the Desert Warrior, for crossing the Sahara Desert. He named the museum after his late sister.

Awesome gallery. Looks well maintained and arranged. Beautiful collection of images and pictures with well detailed labelling and description.

Location is very accessible as it's only along a busy hi-way, it's not so big but they have amazing historical collections.
