About
The Nike Art Gallery is an art gallery in Lagos, Nigeria, at 51/53 Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos State. It is also known as the Nike Davies-Okundaye Art Gallery or the Nike Davies-Okundaye Gallery.
What you will see
The gallery is described as one of Nigeria's largest art galleries. Its displays spread across four floors and bring together traditional and contemporary Nigerian art. The collection includes textiles, paintings, sculptures and cultural artefacts, so a visit can move from woven cloth to modern canvases and carved forms within the same building.
Who it suits
- Visitors interested in Nigerian textiles and the traditions behind them
- Those who want to see how traditional and contemporary work sit side by side
- Anyone spending time in Lagos who wants a visit rooted in the country's visual culture
Getting there
The gallery sits on the Lekki-Epe Expressway, a major road on the Lagos Island side of the city. Before you go, call the gallery on +234-1-270-1673 to confirm current opening arrangements and to ask about any visiting details.
Allow enough time to move through all four floors at a relaxed pace. Because the collection covers so many forms, a slower walk-through will reward you more than a quick look.
