It's well worth spending a couple of hours in the Museum. When we stopped by the electricity supply was at first not working so one of the guides accompanied us with a large floursecent torch which illuminated the exhibits. There were some interesting cultural artefacts and prehistory dispalys in a couple of rooms. It wouldn't take long to go around the glass cases.
For me the best part of the museum was to go out the back where a number of artisans were producing items that were eventually for sale. It was meant to represent a Hausa village and some of the dwellings looked authentic. The old man making metal objects in small sand moulds was particularly interesting. He proudly showed us a well thumbed book of designs for a wide range of objects like spoons and charms. There were also women weaving with hand looms. I recall long lengths of cloth which must have taken ages to create.
Sorry no photos available.

There are several different markets and it's possible to purchase printed cloth, leatherware and jewellery ( most of which is pretty tacky). Other parts of the market provide fruit and vegetables.

Kaduna - stop by for a short while
I spent a week in Kaduna for work back in 2005. I enjoyed my stay very much. My hosts were charming and very hospitable. Unfortunately I didn't get much chance to explore the city though we did go up...

Madakiya is a village that behaves like a town. It is listed in Nigeria because there is beautiful waterfall there.
