Kalakuta Republic Museum
Kalakuta Museum
A memorial museum converted from Fela Kuti's former home, preserving his bedroom, stage costumes, instruments and album covers.
This three-storey house was Fela Kuti's home in his later years, and he declared it the independent 'Kalakuta Republic'. Converted into a museum in 2012, it lets you visit his bedroom, stage costumes, saxophone and album covers, and historical materials about his struggle against the military government. The roof has a bar and small guest rooms. Admission is several thousand naira, and guided tours can be booked in advance. Located on Gbemisola Street in Ikeja, it can be visited on the same evening as the New Afrika Shrine.
