One of the country's richest museums, not to be missed during a stay in Kano. Housed in the very first emirs' palace (1440), this typical Hausa building in banco and ochre wood provides a complete panorama of the region's history, from the Stone Age to the present day. On display are the cannons used by the British to capture Kano in 1903 under the command of Lord Lugard, the city's splendid gates, period photos and the history of the emirs' dynasties, including the current one imposed by colonization.
