History of Kano
A nice thing to do in Kano. You get an idea of the history of Kano. Entrance fee is very cheap. Worth visiting. The guide is explaining well.

Interesting - but lacking some details
Beautifully renovated exterior. The tour guides are knowledgeable but tend to skip certain details / information as they are sometimes in a hurry to get you through. Some of the historic items on display have not been well kept, but all the same interesting to look at. No pictures allowed in most of the interior halls and no post-cards or souvenirs. But you can take all the pictures you want on the outside. Entrance fee is minimal approx. $1.
