The National Museum, located at 2 Barnes Road in central Accra, opened on March 5, 1957, exactly one day before Ghana's independence. This opening was a symbolic act that underscored the importance of cultural heritage and national identity to the newly liberated country.
The museum houses three main galleries, each focusing on different aspects of Ghana's history. The first gallery is dedicated to Ghana's past and displays artifacts and exhibits documenting the country's development over the centuries.
The second gallery explores the rich traditions, customs, and social structures of Ghana's diverse ethnic groups. Finally, the third gallery presents the country's vibrant artistic culture, including traditional and contemporary works that reflect the creativity and ingenuity of the Ghanaian people. The National Museum is thus an important place of learning.
