Publishes prices online · No — enquiry only

Five floors and the largest privately owned gallery in West Africa, founded by Nike Davies-Okundaye. Open 10–6 daily, 1–6 on Sunday. Free to walk in; ₦2,000 a head for a guided group of ten or more. Reachable at last — the two short domains the directories print for it are both dead, and this foundation domain is the live one. Its shop publishes prices only for the batik clothing line; the artwork is enquiry-only

No work from Nike Art Gallery is priced on this site. That is a statement about what the gallery publishes online, not about what is on its walls — call the number above.

Getting a piece home from Nigeria

No export permit neededNigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments Act reaches antiquities: archaeological material, relics of early Nigerian civilisation, work made before 1918, and objects of traditional art used in religious or ceremonial life. A new canvas by a living artist is none of those and leaves as ordinary goods. Take a dated invoice naming the artist, the year, the medium and the dimensions. Exporters routinely ask the Commission for a written no-objection anyway — it costs little and settles the argument at the airport rather than at the gate.
