MY TRAVEL DESTINATION present A day excursion to the first Museum in Nigeria which happens to accomodate the largest number of soap stone images in the world.
The ESIE MUSEUM is famous for its stone figures which, according to records, were discovered in 1775 by people said to be refugees from old Oyo who migrated to the location where the museum now stands.
The initial discovery was by a famous hunter known as Baragon during his hunting expedition, who then went back to tell his people.
The museum, which now has both old and modern galleries, houses more than 2000 objects (soapstones) depicting the image of human beings.
Come with us to esie to learn and have fun at the same time.
