Museum of Yoruba heritage on the 23rd floor of Cocoa House, Nigeria's first skyscraper.

Cocoa House was finished in 1964, built with cocoa money, and at 26 storeys it was the tallest building in Nigeria at the time. Up on the 23rd floor, the Odu'a Museum and Hall of Fame was opened by Wole Soyinka in 2013.

Inside you'll find traditional Yoruba farming tools, royal crowns, talking drums and other instruments, textiles and hand-painted gourds, plus a run of old TVs, radios, cameras and record players. It was recently renovated.
