World's Largest Painting - Nigeria Breaks Record Again


There are many reasons for one to be proud to be a Nigerian.

Making history in the Guinness book of world records is one of them.

On November 17, 2010, Ecole de Dessin in partnership with Lagos State Government, Nigeria, unveiled the world’s largest painting by numbers which measures 3,130.55 m² (33,696 ft² 138.2 in²)



The painting was created by 350 volunteers and represents the map of Nigeria, the logo of 350.org in the middle of the map, the flag of Nigeria (green, white, green) which was painted around the map.

This iconic painting is currently up for exhibition at the Methodist Boys High School Victoria Island Lagos from the 1st of October to the 12th of October 2012. This event is in partnership with the Lagos State Government.
If you're in Lagos, this is an opportunity to view the record breaking painting. This same painting has been featured conspicuously in the 2011, 2012 and the recently the 2013 Guinness World Records Books.
