National Museum of Ghana

Brilliant facility with varied history of Ghana, especially Ga and Asante customs/culture. Lots of great photo opportunities and knowledgable guides. The museum is not air conditioned but there are many fans for those sensitive to heat. Stand in the middle below the spider to hear a cool echo!

The National Museum in Accra is relatively small and compact, making it easy to explore in a short amount of time. 80 Cedis Entrance fee for foreigners. While the exhibits themselves could be presented in a more engaging and visually impactful way, the real highlight of our visit was our guide, Mary (Adwoa). She brought the history and everyday life of the Ghanaian people vividly to life, sharing fascinating insights into their traditions and customs. Thanks to her storytelling skills and enthusiasm, the history of Ghana felt engaging and alive, turning what could have been a simple museum visit into a truly memorable experience.

Amazing history and great stuff. You learn about the Stone Age. How Ghanaians lived way before Southern Civilization.

A wonderful place to find firsthand information about Ghana, it's origin, the people, and culture. Beautiful and handsome tour guides. For a national meseum, I expected a lot more from them, however, than they currently give. 7 out of 10 recommend!

80 cedi/ 5 usd for foreign visitors. Love the wood craving and brass crafts. Not a big place. It’s nice to have a sip of coke at the restaurant right next to the museum in the hot afternoon.

I visited the National Museum of Ghana last Tuesday, and it was truly an enriching experience. The museum beautifully combines pictorial art, historical artifacts, and well-documented written history. Our tour guide gave us an in-depth overview with vivid explanations that were both engaging and highly educational. The entire place is neat, well-organized, and filled with fascinating historical information. I also appreciated the opportunity to ask questions and get detailed answers that deepened my understanding. One thing that stood out to me was the unique echo of our voices inside the museum—it added to the overall memorable experience. The museum also features a shop where you can purchase authentic African items such as bags, fans, slippers, apparel, and more. In addition, there’s a restaurant that serves meals, making it convenient for visitors to relax and refresh. This place is suitable for all ages, especially students who want to learn more about Ghana’s history. I highly recommend it to both locals and tourists—it’s definitely a must-visit.
