black heritage museum

There are several interesting places to see in Badagry. We started at the Oba's palace and got a guide from him who took us around in Badagry for the whole day. We visited the Slave Relics museum, the Brasilian baracoon, the Black heritage museum and the point of no return. It was interesting to see the point of no return and imagine how it was when the slaves saw Africa for the last time. Badagry is a very relaxed place and nice city.

The museum should be maintained in a much better way and clear lack of funds and investments shows. But that apart, the place should be a must visit for anyone interested in knowing/understanding some bits of history of Nigeria and Africa at large. The guides are very informative and friendly as well. Government can make this a money spinner with just minor up keep and investments, and anyway, this painful part of the nations history should be preserved for ages to come. Point to note: Good to carry your passport as the place is very close to Benin border and immigration officials might hassle you for a quick buck as they did with us.

A real and interesting place to get a vivid knowledge of African and Nigerian heritage, is must for everyone that needs to learn about Black history

Very interesting day spent there! you learn a lot about the history of slavery, but also the history of Nigeria. Please plan a lot of time when you go there, so you also have a chance to boat to the point of no return.The guide in the museum was very knowledgeable and helpful and we learnt a lot.thanks and highly recommended!

Black Heritage Museum is the soul and heart of all people of African heritage. It a reminder of the pains and agony slavery and trans-Atlantic slave trade imposed on Africans. For every Person around the world, this precious landmarks is a reminder of your root and heritage! A visit to this Heritage Museum is a visit home, a home to your forebears. Make time to visit to reconnect yourself and family to the soil where your heritage all started.

This is a small but interesting museum. Although it could be better curated, I came away with a greater understanding of Nigerian culture, history and perspective of the slave trade.

The museum is housed in an old colonial house that needs maintenance pronto. It is an average museum where you can get a glimpse into black heritage. The tour guide was excellent

It is a good start for anyone who has interest in Black Heritage but don't expect to leave with the whole story and I think better attention could have been paid to the quality of the displays etc.If you combine with the Calabar Museum, then you'll be sure to get a better picture on the Nigerian perspective of slave trade.

This is where to go on a free afternoon if you like to understand more about the Nigerian culture and history. The guides are very knowledgable and friendly. The displays takes you through ancient history, everyday life style and cultural aspects, as well as the political transitions. I learnt a lot and recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the environment you want to do business in.

full of education and excitement and all the gallery are well arranged i also of the opinion that Nigeria is ripe enough to have a heritage television where our God given talents can be showcased and to give people like me the chance to work in an ideal station

The have the best Environment for Great work of Arts Their Archives are well lined, i also appreciate the Old look of the Doors!.

ok, it good be sooooooo much better - but in a way, the shabiness and low key makes it even more powerful and moving. it tells the disgraceful story of the 'point of no return' - the evil of the local chiefs who sold their own people to the despicable white slavers. not a fine point in any one's history - but makes it a must - even though you should allow for an hour plus to get there (at least) from posh lagos.

Awesome experience. Make sure you have 2 or 3 hours to dedicate to see everything. There is a lot of history to see here.

it was full fun there i wise i could stay for more than i did but got no choice

a love the conservation of the tarditinal african cultures and people ,i love a lot of the artifacts etc
