Oshogbo

Overview

Oshogbo is the art capital of Nigeria. The city is filled with Art studios that produce some of Africa's most inspiring works of art. This is a perfect place to buy yourself. The Oja Oba market is a good place to shop for souvenirs, especially if you are into Juju. The market is accross the street from the Oba's palace.

Another highlight of Oshogbo is the sacred forest, on the outskirts of town, where an Austrian lady, Suzanne Wenger, has been restoring traditional Yoruba shrines.
