Kanta Museum

Popularly called “the Charm of Argungu”, Kanta Museum was built in 1831. It was named after Muhammed Kanta, who is said to be the founder of the Kebbi Kingdom and erected by Yakubu Nabame, a former Emir of Kebbi.
The museum is divided into eleven compartments and has a notable collection of weapons, consisting of charms, spears, swords, wood, stones, bows and arrows, local guns and even drums on display.
The Kanta Museum is quite a fascinating treasure house and a tourist delight for those seeking a more reflective experience of Argungu and its environs.
It retains its historic charm; and the view from outside is of ancient northern Nigerian structure and edifice.
