2 Owo Museum. Owo Museum was founded in 1968. It is home to many monuments and artifacts. Because of its proximity to Ile-Ife and Benin city, two cities renowned for their artistic and cultural legacies, the museum was built to preserve the antiquities that were formerly stored in Olowo’s Palace. From there, one can learn about the people of Owo and their history. (updated Jun 2021)
