Omenka Gallery is a privately held Art Gallery carefully tucked within the serene Ikoyi atmosphere. It has an exquisite display of contemporary art styles housed under a cool and spacious lounge. It has an outdoor garden - BC gardens, within the same compound.Want a cool place to refresh and recollect over the weekend? This might be the perfect getaway.It is also ideal for kids.

Omenka Art Gallery: an art gallery located in Ikoyi Crescent also close to the American Consulate. It has a serene environment;behind the Art Gallery is the BC Gardens(part of the art Gallery) BC Gardens has a wonderful Horizon with heartwarming ocean view that brings you close to nature.Cool breeze from the ocean.You can sight Ocean Parade Towers in Banana Island from the BC Gardens.Outstanding artworks and artefacts at the Gallery.

When you walk into Omenka Gallery, youd first love to take photographs if you are like me! I was enchanted by the greenery and flowers that surround the facility. If you are an art lover who loves gallery visits, yes, you will find the usual exhibition space with beautiful pieces arranged on the walls and sculptures posing at different corners etc. But here, theres a bit of a difference which comes from the surroundings. Youll find a bar space at the main entrance as well as a cosy seat out by the seaside.The staff are very courteous and responsive. And their pepper goat meat was absolutely yummy!!! Lol. This place is quiet and classy for all I care. Just an entirely different kind of destination to seat out and have drinks or even a kind of quiet time earlier in the day.

Omenka represents a fine selection of established and emerging contemporary African and international artists working in diverse media. Omenka Gallery also organizes several workshops and residencies to encourage curatorial and professional artistic development.The studio itself looks like an artwork; beautifully laid out, extremely neat, great lighting effects and wonderful usher to show you around.

If you love Art and love to view them in the most serene place in Lagos, Omenka is the place. Its location at the bank of the Lagos Lagoon sold me! Its almost hidden, and you might have a difficult time locating it, but I promise you. Itd be worth your time. They also sell food and drinks, just in case you need to munch on something.P.S: you might get a peep of some of Ben Enwonwus memorabilia, like his National Honors medal amongst other stuff. 😉

I would say this gallery is slightly below average, theres only one room of sparse art, which was quite disappoining. But they have a beautiful view of a water body. Lovely for a quiet date.

I really like Omenka gallery, for art in Lagos you have to stop here. The famous sculpture in front of the national museum was made by the owner of the property Late Prof Enwonwu. There is a nice place to sit with family and friends outside the gallery with a mini lounge.

Very nice Art Gallery with very well chosen exhibitions. And the food, Nigerian is amazing. And generous servings. But be patient. It takes time as everything is freshly cooked. There is a lovely garden overlooking the lagoon to wait.

This is a contemporary Nigerian art gallery owned by Oliver Enwowu, son of one of Nigeria’s leading 21st-century artists, Ben Enwowu. The gallery showcases the works of established and contemporary upcoming Nigerians as well as international artists. Right outside the gallery is a chilled and quiet waterside hangout spot where you can sit and relax, free from the worries of the world

Nice gallery with a flower garden overlooking the Lagos Lagoon. We meet young artist learning and practicing inside and outside the gallery.Omenka gallery has a collection of artworks but photographs were not allowed.Theres a restaurant and cafe within the garden. Foods are cooked fresh. You can have coffee, tea, soft drinks and healthy meals here but its expensive.♿ Its an old facility but not accessible by wheelchair users. This could be reviewed by providing movable ramps.

Acoustic hall containing a lot of African inspired art, great environment, pretty humid thanks to the water body around it, great ambience too and a place to relax and have a drink. You might experience difficulty with network provided services; not so many art works on display.

Omenka gallery is located in the heart of ikoyi with fairly good road. the place is a garden style afrocentric sea bordering art gallery with kitchen and bar. it has a beautiful view of nature including the lagoon and natural vegetation. the gallery has beautiful sculptures and art works. You are allowed to freely enter and look but there is a no camera policy inside the gallery. There is enough parking lot, but unfortunately there is no wheelchair accessibility at this time

Review №31

This gallery is located in a serene environment - it gives off a secret garden kind of vibe with the greenery adding to the effect.It lies coyly between a somewhat exclusive restaurant and the ocean. The pieces on display had soul and depth. It has a neat toilet and boast of courteous staff.

Regular exhibits in a clean-lines, modern space that lets you focus on the art. The attached outdoor B & C Garden Restaurant has the tastiest Nigerian and continental dishes Ive had in Lagos restaurants in huge portions at great prices (and the best reusable takeaway packs youll find in the city)--in a beautiful garden right on the waterfront. Concerts/live music too from time to time.

So much plant species in so litle space. Its a good spot if you love plants. There are lots of it. Good dinning in the botanical garden. Warning! One person can not finish a bowl of soup at Omenka, it is suitable for 3 persons or more. Call at least 30mins before you arrive to order for your food. Food are cooked just for you. Oh, i forgot, they have a small but beautiful private art gallery. Yes. Entry is free. Enjoy!

Review №45

The 1 star rating is for the outdoor scenery. Its cosy and private.The place is really small and hard to find if its your first time. It is literally behind someones house. Plus when I got there, there was no electricity and the attendant said the generator would come on in the evening (I assume its when the owner of the house gets back). The gallery was really dark due to this,so I went back.
