AGBABIAKA HABIBAH EROJEEsie museum built in 1945 is the first museum in Nigeria and houses the highest number of stone in Africa and third highest in the world. Located in the Esie a quiet town in Irepodun Local government of Kwara state. The tour guides were exceptionally helpful and friendly and their recollection of facts and dates was mind-blowing. The buildings as well as the stone images they house are well preserved, giving the whole feeling of being suspended in an era that is both old and sacred. The images displayed a diverse array of culture, hair styles, working tools etc. It has chairs and shades for family and personal relaxation so kids can have a nice time here too.

David Omololu AiyeolaI had to visit this museum, the 1st one to be set up in Nigeria actually due to the discovery of all the soap stone images under that tree. I first sighted one of the soap stone images at the National Museum Lagos thus igniting my quest to see the rest of them. We had challenges getting there on time due to bad roads and then we were not allowed to drive into the big compound insisting we park outside.

Ijeoma Cherry BasseyOver 1000 Soapstone carvings of mysterious origin, found in 18th century Esie, Kwara state. This is evidence of the amazing history, civilization and folklore of ancient Nigeria. Everyone has to experience it. Infrastructure and access road to the museum are in dire need of repair though.
