• Agata W. ★★★★★ : I'd like to separate the experience of art from the experience of a gallery. I'll start with the paintings. Nigeria has long been the realm of great artists. Since the 1950s, they've been gaining well-deserved recognition. Contemporary artists also have their own way of finding their place in the art world. I could spend hours in the gallery, looking at each painting individually. Rotimi Akinnire's painting "Forest" was mesmerizing—after a moment, I felt as if I'd been summoned to a forest. Many other paintings also captured my attention. The dark side was the institution. When I bought tickets for myself and my companion—the driver, for whom it was his first visit to an art gallery; he, too, could never visit it on his own because admission is quite expensive—I asked for tickets, but they didn't have them. I paid, but I couldn't get a receipt. Then, one of the staff members assisted us during the tour, reminding us several times that I could buy a painting. Finally, after the third time, I asked her to let us admire the beautiful paintings and leave us alone. This gallery combines two functions: exhibition and sales. If it's a commercial gallery focused on selling art, it shouldn't charge admission. If it's presenting art, it shouldn't be a pushy saler. Furthermore, if you want to take a photo of painting in this gallery, you can only do it in the form of a portrait of yourself in front of a painting. How strange.
• Gold E. ★★★★★ : Visited here quite a number of times, also was once invited for an exhibition and I must say it’s quite a delightful experience, at all my visits I was advised not to take a direct photo of the arts but can take pics with them, there’s restaurant next door as well … I quite appreciate that entry is free…
