On getting here on this day, we learned they have now increased their price. Entry is now N1,000 but then after paying and it was time to go inside, they said that they didn’t have light in the gallery. After a long deliberation they called their director who agreed to pay fuel of N1,000 for us to explore the gallery. We waited outside for about 20mins before they brought the fuel and we used the generator. This place is not maintained at all. Dirts, cobwebs and dusty. I hope something is done about this place pretty fast.

The national museum of Unity, Enugu is a very well maintained space I must admit (albeit by our typical standards). Entrance is about 500 for adults and less for kids. The twice I’ve visited , We got the same tour guide both times (I wish I remembered his name). A very knowledgeable and strict tour guide (don’t let him catch you trying to take pictures behind his back😅( I witnessed one…very embarrassing). He is very detailed and we enjoyed the 2021 tour much more as the duo were older so they engaged better. The pieces are maintained , inside the museum rooms are clean, though a tad musty. I wish the place was better lighted and aerated. An added bonus- there have a room for art exhibitions and it changes often enough. Very enjoyable All in all, a wholesome historical experience about Enugu as well as Igbo’s cultural similarities with other tribes , I learnt a lot. We will definitely visit again.

It was splendid. My guide taught me a lot about every stocked materials and the different parts of the museum. Taking pictures was not allowed in the main museum but there's a side gallery I was allowed to do so. It was themed 'Naijagems Enugu' : a travelling exhibition organised by the US Consulate and Lagosphoto
