The Lekki art market, located on Oba Elegushi Street, Off Lekki-Epe expressway (between 4th and 5th roundabout), should be your first stop. A gem for Nigerian art and yeah the price of art is way cheaper than you can imagine. Looking for some more sophisticated art expression – The Nike art gallery and TerraKulture should be your next stop. Onikan under the bridge, Freedom Park and the Fela Shrine should definitely be on your list too.
