History of National Museum of Colonial History
National Museum of Colonial History was established in 1985.

Best Features
The museum is housed in the former Old Consulate Building of the then Eastern Central State, which was renovated and transformed to showcase the Nigeria of colonial era. A group of ethnographers were assembled with the focus on write-ups and collection of material culture on colonial matters intended towards setting up of the museum.
Writer's Review
The managers and curators of the museum has made a vuisit to the musuem pleasurable as the works and events are chronologically photographed and displayed so as you walk along your tour, you walk along history from one year to another. Allows for greater appreciation of our colonial history and easier research if need be.
