Esiẹ Museum is a museum in Esiẹ, Kwara State, Nigeria. Ruled by a King known as Elesie Of Esie
The museum was the first to be established in Nigeria when it opened in 1945.[1] The museum once housed over one thousand tombstone figures or images representing human beings.[2]
It is reputed to have the largest collection of soapstone images in the world.[3] In modern times the Esie museum has been the center of religious activities and hosts a festival in the month of April every year.[4]
