John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History

The John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History is a ground-breaking cultural attraction that honors the Yoruba people of Nigeria. Yoruba experts and novices alike can dive deep into the stories, myths, and traditions of Yoruba heritage, encountering immersive experiences, from the dynamism of Yoruba festivals to the rich visual culture of Yoruba history and ancestry. As an all-encompassing celebration of Yoruba art, fashion, literature, music and history, the John Randle Centre’s collections have been drawn from the communities they celebrate.
