Lagos turns Fela’s home into Kalakuta Republic Museum

The Lagos State Government has turned the house of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, into a museum to “promote cultural heritage and mark the 74th birthday” of the legendary musician.


Inside the museum located at 8, Gbemisola Street, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, to be and managed by Total Consult, are Fela’s trademark items like dresses, shoes and household materials.

The dresses are about 3,000.

Others include covers of the albums of the late musician.

Images on the album covers bear a variety of styles and typefaces which echo and comment on the works and politics of the artiste.
