National Museum, Ile-Ife

📍 Ile-Ife, Osun

A national museum founded in 1954 beside the Ooni's palace, run by the National Commission for Museums and Monuments. It holds ancient Ife terracotta and bronze sculpture, including brass heads found in 1938, plus Gelede masks and Yoruba ethnographic objects. It is an easy day trip from Osogbo and pairs well with a palace visit.
