READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH ALEXANDER OSHO CURATOR OF NATIONAL MUSEUM LAGOS

" A MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS COMING FROM DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS GOING TO" SAYS MR ALEXANDER OSHO  . CURATOR NIGERIA NATIONAL MUSEUM LAGOS. ..HE IS ALSO A HIGHLY VERSATILE ACTOR, SINGER,PAINTER, DANCER AND MASTER OF CEREMONY EXTRAORDINARY...
EP/Let's meet you 
ALEXANDER OSHO/ My name is Alexander Osho, curator with the National museum Lagos amidst a lot of artistic inclinations I have  been an actor, mc and musician.I have been here since 2012 ,as a curator our job is the total documentation of our artifects in this museum and to enlighten our tourist on the beauty of Nigeria ,Also to ensure that children will come here from different schools are well informed on  cultural diversity of our nation and the beauty that comes from that diversity.
EP/ The museum itself can you tell us about it operations.
ALEXANDER OSHO/The museum in Lagos has been existing for years and we have different people running different sections We have Documentation which i belong to, Education, Exhibition , heritage, research and science basically I will speak for my own department called CURATORS ,one of the things we do is to ensure we partner with the exhibition  staff to put up exhibitions from time to time .If you walk round you will see ongoing exhibitions..I will like to say a big thank you to the United States consulate for giving us this beautiful park which we are sitted here for the interview,
This point is where students come to relax after a tour of the museum.likewise I will like to clear the misconception and mindset of most people that when I come to the national museum am coming to see  late Gen muritala Mohammed car or am going to the museum kitchen.. Beyond that we have a thousand artefacts that are in our storage here that we use from time to time for exhibitions.What am particularly doing is to promote the culture of our people,to make people know that the museum exists to ensure that when people come and embrace the fact that this is where I come from,I am a Nigerian,I am Ibo, Hausa, Yoruba,itshekiri,ijaw,,kanuri, idoma etc .We tends to enjoy culture when we know where we are from like I always say " A man who doesn't know where he is coming from  doesn't know where he is going to" ,so I think history should be taught vin our schools. Tertiary institutions should bring their students here to do research
EP/The national museum Lagos is a federal government establishment what efferts are you making for collaboration with the private sector.
ALEXANDER OSHO/The national museum Lagos is open is very very open to collaboration like this garden was a collaboration with the American Embassy ,so corporate bodies that want to partner with us are highly welcome,also we have an exhibition hall that is open to the general public, contemporary artist are invited to exhibit their works here e.g.painters, sculptures etc 
EP/ What are your expectations for the museum.
ALEXANDER OSHO/All over the world museums are funded by corporate bodies,so if we have the likes of MTN coming to do something here, like Globalcom.,also the oil and gas sectors,all the private sector coming to do something here in it's duty of corporate social responsibilities,if there are enlighten that some of this things don't go into extinction as our cultural heritage.
EP/ Tell us about your artistic life
ALEXANDER OSHO/ I found myself doing Arts very well going to do lots of things in the Arts and entertainment scene,i was privilege enough to attend  University of Lagos, studied creative Arts which I did for five years ,I was blessed to have very very renowned people lectured me there like Otunba Tunji Sotimirin, Prof Ahmed Yerima all this people incoculate  a lot of things in me .
Right now i run my show at the freedom park every year  DECEMBER  this year's own is DECEMBER 18th at the freedom park  .It is a blend of Comedy, music and cultural performance .it is called " ALEXANDER OSHO SHOW. Don't forget I also act ( smiles)
