    The museum is excellent for what it is. Yes, the surroundings are in desperate need of serious care, but what's inside is worthwhile. Our tourguide, Mr. Ouattara, was welcoming and very knowledgeable. Admission tickets are 500 FCFA for locals and 2,000 FCFA for foreigners.

    An exciting museum that tells the history of the country and especially the cultural and architectural differences of the various provinces. Mme Yélémou gave me a great tour of the exhibition. I recommend to visit the museum when you are in Ouagadougou.

  • 5/5 Laurent S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I really liked the exhibition "Mask, who are you?" Because it gave an excellent glimpse of the magic that operates these masks, and of their cultural importance. The fact that they were exhibited on life-size costumed mannequins, gave them an even more impressive appearance! (Original) J ai beaucoup aimé l exposition "Masque, qui es-tu ?" Car elle donnait un excellent aperçu de la magie qu opère ces masques, et de leur importance culturelle. Le fait qu ils soient exposés sur des mannequins costumés grandeur nature, leur donnait un aspect encore plus impressionnant !
