Kant Museum

The Kant Museum was founded in 1958. It is located in an ancient building of the XIX century, the former royal palace Kebbi.

The unique architecture of the building has not undergone reconstruction, it has retained its historical charm of an ancient Nigerian building. On the territory of the museum there is a royal tomb, all the former emirs of Kebbi are buried here. The museum’s 11 exhibition halls feature interesting expositions including traditional crafts, ethnography, and unique artifacts found during the Argungu archaeological excavations. Interesting collections of ancient weapons, including spears, swords, stones, bows and arrows, deserve special attention.

The extensive exhibitions of the Kant Museum are a fascinating treasure trove of the historical and cultural heritage of the ancient city of Argungu. On the territory of the museum there is a chic souvenir shop, very popular among tourists.
