Arewa House

Arewa House is a research and documentation center in Kaduna that houses nineteen exhibition galleries with cultural objects, historical documents, and manuscripts about Northern Nigeria. The rooms are arranged so visitors can see materials about the region's traditions, government publications, and recordings.

The center was founded in 1970 to preserve and document the history and contemporary issues of Northern Nigeria. It was established under Ahmadu Bello University as a repository for these materials.

The center holds Arabic manuscripts and recordings that show the traditions of Northern Nigeria and how people here understand their own history.

The location sits on Rabah Road in Ungwan Sarki Muslimi and offers accommodation, a conference hall, and research spaces. Visitors should plan enough time to explore the exhibitions and archives.

The museum has special exhibition areas showcasing Sir Ahmadu Bello Sardauna and his role in Northern Nigeria's development. This gallery shows both personal and professional aspects of an influential regional leader.
