Kanta Museum is a museum in Argungu, Nigeria, near the main market.
Built-in 1831, the building was named after Muhammed Kanta, who founded the Kingdom of Kebbi in 1515.
It was built by Yakubu Nabame, the former Emir of Kebbi, and it was the royal palace until 1942 when the British built a new palace at that time, Muhammad Sani's Kingdom.
After the building became vacant, on July 1, 1958, it was opened as a museum, the house sheds more light on the controversial history of Kebbi state.
The museum has eleven parts, and has a collection of amazing weapons, including charms, spears, swords, sticks, stones, bows and arrows, domestic guns and even drums on display.
