Ecobank Nigeria, a subsidiary of the leading Pan-African banking group, has partnered with the Yaba Art Museum (YAM) of Yaba College of Technology to launch the Lagos Pop-Up Museum.
The exhibition will run for three months at the Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC) in Victoria Island, Lagos, from November 8, 2025, to February 10, 2026.
The Lagos Pop-Up Museum is a vibrant, citywide art and cultural advocacy platform that will bring together artists, students, and the public through a blend of interactive exhibitions, workshops, performances, talks, innovation labs, and community engagement programs.
Visitors can expect an inspiring mix of creativity, learning, and collaboration that celebrates both Lagos’ dynamism and Africa’s evolving cultural identity.
According to Bolaji Lawal, Managing Director/Regional Executive, Ecobank Nigeria, the project reflects the bank’s belief in the power of culture to unite people and drive innovation.
“Through platforms like EPAC, we continue to nurture collaboration, entrepreneurship, and cultural exchange which are all key to building a thriving creative economy in Africa.”Lawal said.
“This partnership with YAM reinforces our CSR values around education, innovation, sustainability, and African identity,”
The Rector of Yaba College of Technology, Dr. Ibraheem Adedotun Abdul, described the project as an extension of the Museum’s well-known “Gown to Town” initiative, which connects academic creativity with the wider community.
“This project invites Lagos residents, creatives, policymakers, collectors, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens to engage with contemporary culture,” he said.
The exhibition will feature a rich lineup of experiences, including Homecoming, a visual journey responding to Nigerian artefacts repatriated from Europe and the Americas; Adoption, a civic-action space of Art donations and sales in support of youth development;
Drum Up, a celebration of the archive as a catalyst for development and collective memory; and Deep Blue, immersive works exploring water in its fantasy, mystery, science, and environmental consciousness.
Over its duration, the Ecobank Pan African Centre is expected to transform into a vibrant hub of creativity and connection, expanding public access to contemporary art, creative education, and cultural engagement.
