Odu'a Museum and Hall of Fame was conceptualized by Odu'a Investement Company Limited(Ltd.) to reflect a memory of classical glid of history, technology, people and culture, arts and crafts as they relate to occupation and ingenuity of the past.
Management of Odu'a Investement Company Limited therefore put this Centre in place to showcase some objects of historical and aesthetic values that are evidence of the material culture bequeathed to us by our forefathers. It is an eye-opener to school children,visitors and other people who are interested in learning about Yoruba culture.
