Tiddo Yo Daddo Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the Jimeta neighborhood of Adamawa, the Tiddo Yo Daddo Museum feels less like a formal institution and more like a vibrant community gathering spot. It’s the kind of place where history feels immediate, connecting the rich tapestry of northeastern Nigeria's past to its dynamic present. You won't find roped-off artifacts here; instead, the collection invites a sense of discovery and personal connection. The atmosphere is genuinely welcoming, fueled by passionate staff who are eager to share stories behind every object.
Collection Highlights
The museum shines with its array of intricately woven traditional textiles and ceremonial regalia that speak to the region's craftsmanship. A particularly compelling exhibit features historical photographs and everyday objects that tell the story of Jimeta's evolution from a bustling river port to the modern city it is today.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at 6CXX+P8V in Karewa, Jimeta—it's very much a local gem, so asking for directions is part of the adventure. Given its high rating but low number of reviews, it's wise to check locally for opening hours before you make the trip.
