Nike Art Gallery

Abuja Museum

The Nike Art Gallery stands as West Africa’s most expansive art repository, with its primary location nestled within Lagos's Lekki district. Founded by Nike Davies-Okundaye in 2009, the gallery aims to revitalise Nigeria’s arts and culture sector while nurturing African heritage. It serves not only as a tourist magnet but also as a training ground for young artists across various disciplines.

Spanning four floors, the gallery boasts over 500 artworks on display from its extensive collection of 25,000 pieces, representing both Nigerian and other African nations’ artistic expressions. Admission is free, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a diverse cultural tapestry that fosters community pride and heritage appreciation.

For those wishing to take home a piece of this vibrant culture but constrained by travel logistics, the gallery facilitates shipping arrangements for purchased artworks. With branches extending from Lagos to Abuja, Oshogbo, Abeokuta, and Ogidi, Nike Davies-Okundaye’s vision transcends geographical boundaries, promoting art as a unifying force across generations.
