I was so excited to visit a museum for the first time. I had so much expectations, but on my arrival my expectations were deflated. First we were greeted by an unkempt surrounding, a once beautiful museum has been invaded by grasses and mismanagement. To my dismay we were told that only pictures are available for viewing although we would not be let into the main hall. So no atifacts was seen.So it happens that all we see in pictures and all we heard before our arrival was past glory.The museum is so beautiful with sites for good photography, it is surrounded by the once glorious unity park which has been permanently shut because of insecurity.It is quite serene with the keepers seated at the main entrance.
I’m disappointed with the place. Is so scented
This museum, sometimes referred to as Akwa Ibom Museum Headquarters, is a good place to visit whenever you visit Uyo city. The museum also has a large expanse of well landscaped greens/lawns surrounding it.The museum has a lot of artifacts and works on display that will give you an in-depth look at the Ibibio indigenes. If you are not into museums, the park offers a scenic paved walkways/paths for a solitary leisure stroll, an evening jog and also provides a good ambiance for family picnic and leisure. The park features three water ponds and long paved paths with an expansive lush green lawn.
What a waste. This country can waste opportunities. For crying out loud,this place should be fetching the government millions on a monthly basis but no,its under lock and key.This is what the white man will employ tour guides for and charge us some good money to enter the park and museum.Nothing happening there, just go in and take pictures,nothing else.
Beautiful place, serene environment. If you love nature, this is the place for you. Ive been here so often that it may be my new thinking spot. Its also good for jogging and exercising on weekends. Good spot for your parties and other events. I only took away a star because I wish the museum was more functional.
Very spacious environment
Wonderful Park in surrounding environs.Lots of jogging trails,acres of green areas dotted with bamboo.Not much in the museum itself to see,seldom open too but this is about the only open air park in Uyo.Big plus for picnics,no1 spot.Minus,no lights at night.Leave at dusk.
It is beautiful. Especially at this time of the year Christmas with lots of artworks on display. If interested in visiting, December is the best time because the mass of land surrounding it is turned into a Christmas village, where lots of food, snacks and drinks are sold. Lots of activities like horse riding are available there.
Its a beautiful and artistic place. Its is housed in a very serene location. I definitely will like to visit again soon.
Very spacious and well thought out theme park. Good for relaxation, picnics, outdoor events. The Ibibio museum is also really cool, though its mostly locked and the environment usually unkept recently.
For the love of nature and calm and serene park surrounding the museum, its always d number picnic venue for me and my family and it has always been a pleasant sight to behold. Its popularly called Unity Park.The museum houses the culture and heritage of the ibibio people. Its a tourist attraction that can be invested on and developed to generate revenues to our economy.
Nice but structure he this eerie feeling and is killing the contemporary feel it usually gives when you get there the first time. The environment also has this romantic air, a good place for a picnic, and an unplanned excursion.
Lovely historical site. It is worth seeing. Add it to your bucket list.
I dont have much to say about here now, but the place looked so not functional and unkempt on the outside, I may be wrong though as I didnt go really close, I stopped at the ebb of the steps going up, as I didnt want to make a disappointing walk up those steps. Anyway, the aerial view is eye catchy.
Well kept artifacts of the raceGood memoriesSerene atmosphere
The building is lovely but if doesnt have enough content yet. Hopefully more will be included in future.
A play for relaxation, exercise n games. Mehn I like this place but be careful at night. Your on your own
Fun place to relax with the family and appreciate nature. Lots of open space to either play football or cycle or even exercise. Good for picnics and get togethers or even barbecue some fish or meat with friends and family at the weekend.Lots of space to park and lots of trees providing fresh breeze and shade.
Ibibio Museum is a nice place to hang out for to-be couples, lovers and even families. The serenity and warm ambience is second to none.
It was during the chritmas Village time, i had fun. Kool atmosphere. The jazz, music was great
This is an open park with 90 percent grass, trees and vegetation! Its a nice place to hang out with friends and family members and even organize picnics. Most people use the open field for sports and football. Theres a building in the center of the park for photo exhibition and corporate events. Nice place you must visit, I give it 3star.
This is a fantastic museum in Uyo the capital city of Akwa Ibom State.
The museum is an open park accessible to all members of the public for all kinds of love games, picnic, dates and lots more.

Locked up for most of the year with very poor maintenance. The grass grows wild and herdsmen bring cattle to graze. There are cattle droppings everywhere.
