The recently renovated National Museum of Ghana offers a captivating journey through the country's rich history, spanning different eras and showcasing significant events and artifacts from diverse regions. While the tour guide's delivery may have lacked enthusiasm, visitors can easily access detailed information on the displays by scanning barcodes with their phones. Overall, the museum provides a visually stunning and worthwhile experience that is highly recommended for exploration.

We went to the National Museum today, and it was really interesting and a good Sunday activity (especially since many markets and activities are closed on Sunday)! They recently renovated and reopened a week ago. A free guided tour was included in the price, which definitely was a huge plus. It’s mostly an anthropological history of the country, plus some beautiful artwork and overview of current traditions.

Good good museum to know the dated history of Ghana. Its people have such a diverse and long history; great to see how they have remained together despite their diversity. The museum and its guides are well and courteous.

I had heard about the museum being open to the public and so I decided to go check it out. This museum is located in the bubbling vibrant heart of Accra, entrance fee was 25Cedis…you get a briefed on the museum’s concept and collection but that’s about that…you don’t get allocated a guide , you get to move around on your own viewing artifacts. The museum was recently remodeled so it is quite appealing with the lights and the spider web decor hanging in the middle of the space, there are things to see with detailed information provided on each piece of item. It’s a really cool place to be if you would like to know about the rich culture of the people, or you’re one to just explore public places…kindly check this place out if you’re ever in Accra.

Lovely museum to educate yourself about history of Ghana. It's pretty small, but very informative and kept well. Staff was extremely friendly and polite.

Not yet open as of the time of visit. Was informed that it may be opened in the last quarter of 2018. There's a sculpture garden in the compound that has some relics that is still accessible for free while the main building is still closed for renovation.

Great experience with Mr Noisty ❤️ contact your tour guide on +233 558712206🇬🇭. The museum tour was Amazing 😻 as we go to learn and see more things about Ghana 🇬🇭 . We got to visit different attractions in the country 😊as well. Visit and Experience Ghana with Eco Tour Ghana ❤️🇬🇭

Very beautiful place. Exhibitions were well curated.

Absolutely loved it here! There’s so much to learn about Ghana’s history and the diversities of different cultures. It’s a very informative and educative place to learn about our ancestry.

Nice place. It deserves a deep renovation though.

Amazing artifacts to show the rich Ghanaian culture. Staff are helpful and courteous. Had a lovely time there and it was such a fun way to know about the history of our motherland. I loved the spider web and the echoing effect it had under there.

Very good, exhibition is in place, and stand the chance of seeing things that your grandparents use. It's a lot of fun😀😁

The staff over there are really welcoming and brotherly. If l am allowed, l would mention madam Elizabeth, the receptionist and all their office mates l met over there yesterday. I am sincerely very grateful to them for their taking good care of me.

It's a nice place but has low patronage. Lots of history

Learn about the history of Ghana and the diverse Cultural and traditional heritage. Art and craft, Ceremonial artifacts and many more. Must visit. 10ghs for Ghanaians 50ghs for Non-Ghanaians

The national museum of Ghana is such a historic place to visit. The place offers both pictorial art and views as well as written history. The tour guide gave us an extensive overview and vivid explanations which was very educative. The place is neatly and well organized with great and historical information. I had the opportunity to ask questions and also I got the information I needed. The place is a must visit as I was intrigued by the echoes of our voices when we talked. There’s a shop that sells African stuffs, ranging from bags, fan,slipper, apparels etc. They also have a restaurant that offers meals as well. Suitable for all ages, especially school goers to know more history of the country. I highly recommend this place for visitors.

Beautiful facility, very informative. We had knowledgeable guides that provided valuable information and answered all of our questions.

Christmas day, no cashier, no staff, only one guard who takes our money (80 cedis for me, a foreigner, and 20 for my local driver). No receipt, no ticket. He puts the 100 cedis (about 8 US$) in his shirt pocket and walks away. On the way out he asks me to write my name not in the guest book but on a separate piece of paper. The small museum is nice and worth a visit, provided the visitor knows that entrance fee goes to the right place.

Not enough artefacts. Museum can be much better run and improved in term of presentation. Items on display do show a rich history, nonetheless.

Patricia from Ghana this is the sorry that I have for my people

So poor. You cant see anything for now because its in renovation since 2014!!!! Bcause of financial problem they didnt finish yet. But you have a side with an tiny exhibition of 20 images of architecture of Ghana....very sad.

great effort to capture current issues as history for future generations

I really enjoyed this museum. It has lots of interesting artifacts to view, and the guide was very knowledgeable about Ghanaian history. I really enjoyed viewing the art by Peter Jojo Abdallah. If I'd had a way to get it back to the US, I would've purchased several pieces. They are beautiful. I'm not sure any under the age of 18 or so would necessarily enjoy this museum. But any adult would love it.

I explored the National Museum in Accra on a Friday, eager to delve into our Ghanaian cultural heritage. Located across from the Accra Rehabilitation Centre, the absence of clear signage led me to inquire if I had reached the correct destination. I entered at 9:10 am after paying an entrance fee of ¢20. The museum showcased artifacts illustrating Ghana's rich cultural history, spanning themes such as early hunting tools, funerals, puberty rites, clans, and religion. The exhibits included both genuine archaeological findings dating back centuries and replicas of valuable items. The tour guide provided a well-articulated journey through the depths of our history, making it a worthwhile experience. In about 30 mins, we were done with our tour of the place and the highlight for me was the outstanding spider web art that hung like a canopy over our heads on the ground floor. There's a spacious car park and an eating area. It is also child friendly.

I actually visited here in 2003 and it was mostly a bunch of dusty glass cases with hard to read descriptions and not terribly impressive at all. Now, however, it's a bright and shiny set of displays that looked great with clear, prominent descriptions to accompany them. Awesome improvement, definitely worth a visit.

Main hall under renovation for a few more months. Was shown to a room with photos of key buildings in Accra and around the country. Polite staff. Some statues in the lawn but description so a bit hard to understand. Still worth a visit.

Nothing. They are closed and didnt put iz on web. Shame

It a wonderful place to be,

The Museum of Science and Technology in Accra was established when two lecturers from the Legon Campus of the University of Ghana, identified a need to create awareness of past and current developments in science and technology in Ghana, and presented a proposal for the development of the institution to Kwame Nkrumah, the then president of Ghana. A short time later, in 1965, the Museum of Science and Technology opened its doors. The institution endeavors to inspire those who visit, particularly its more youthful guests, with a desire to discover more about the sciences and technological development in the world around them.

I went here with a group who was traveling from abroad. All we found at the address was essentially an empty building that was slowly falling apart. I am not sure why this is being advertised as a museum since it hardly had any actual exhibits. I was very disappointed. I wish it was just closed until it was in decent shape.

Very little science and technology. There ground floor was entirely devoted to art and upstairs there were only four glass cabinets with three items in each. One of these was a microscope, another a tape player. There was very little of educational value. The saving grace was a decrepit traction engine outside where someone with in interest in steam boilers could see the internals through the gaping holes

It's ok

nice place

I actually went to a local restaurant there. They have nice local dishes

The museum has been closed for the past few years. As of August 2021 you will not be able to visit. I rode down here only to find that it is closed despite what Google Maps says. I do remember it being quite good when I visited in 2015.

The National Museum Gallery is one the best Traditional and Cultural Heritage museum in Africa 🌍 location in Accra, Ghana. The place is categorized into different department of collections: *** Presidential Collections (lots of gift items donation by president to the museum) *** Currency Collections ( from the Oldest Currency 💲💵 in Ghana to the new one). *** Chieftaincy Collections of Akan Northern region. *** Africa 🌍 Kitchen (how a typical Ghana Kitchen looks like) *** Stone Age *** Herbal Collections *** Painting Collections *** Settlement collections *** War Dresses *** Spider (Star Object) *** Car Collections ( it's all bullet Proof car Collections of some former Ghana President like Dr Kwame Nkrumah, JJ Rawlings, Kuffor etc) Visit the place to understand Africa 🌍 Traditional & Cultural Heritage.

The National Museum Gallery was recently opened and this adds up to places to visit in Accra. Big car park and beautiful landscape. You can do a walk in and have a guided tour. It's best to call to inform if you are moving in a large group. Enjoy the space.

The tour guide was very informative and efficient, my group only had about a half hour to tour due to delays and he was able to walk us through from beginning to end with time for questions. I really enjoyed learning more about Ghana here!

This was probably the best thing I saw in Accra. I highly recommend a tour, as they are super informative, and you will immediately start making connections to practices if you are part of the diaspora. Like we learned about how kings present what kind of king they are by hat placement; to either side they are peaceful. To the back they are always moving forward. Straight up, they are serious. Made me think of people wearing baseball caps backwards and visors to the side. Also, removing your hat to greet a person respectfully came from this practice. Amazing tour.

I have been pleased with my experience at the recently renovated National Museum of Ghana. You will be asked to pay an entrance fee. From the entrance to the top , you will navigate through multiple type or arts, objects that are going to teach you a lot about the ghanaian culture and so on. I felt lucky and empowered to have experienced , not me alone but with my family , such a nice tour. Give you a try.

You can easily spend an hour here although the tour was roughly 30 minutes. You will learn a lot about history and culture. The museum has a gift shop and a restaurant on the premises. You can continue the tour on your own outside where there are various statues surrounding the facility.

3.5/5 I learned a lot during my visit to the National Museum of Ghana. It was interesting to see and learn about the country's history and culture through various exhibits and stories. Our guide was amazing, and we learned a lot about Ghana's history and culture. However, the museum was uncomfortably hot, and there was a lot of information to take in. It would be helpful to have more written information or an audio guide to help visitors absorb everything at their own pace. Overall, the National Museum of Ghana is a great place to learn about the country's history and culture.

Impressive, has details of all tourist sites in Ghana. Beautiful photographs of all historical buildings.

⭐

Any information of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah the fist president of the republic of Ghana, please visit Ghana museums.

Several service points in terms of what to buy and observe

Museum closed for the year oblivious to the fact that it's the year of return!

They are always out of service

Beautiful place

i enjoyed their conference hall

Great exhibits

It keeps the Memory of the country and educates visitors, students and tourists about the unique cultural heritage of the nation.

Still under renovation.

Amazing work of art

Very closed as of Feb 2020. Construction was in process and the staff mentioned a possible re-opening in March 2020, but that sounded too optimistic. Everything was boarded up, and even the sculpture garden was filled with trash, and many sculptures were broken. There was no information about the closure on their website, or on the signs outside the museum.

Under renovation

Museum was closed for renovations (?????). The website did not have ANY information listing that it was closed. We found out after arriving there. We looked at the statues in the garden.

Not changed in over 40 years

Very poor services

Nothing Mach to see

Awesome

Ok

Great place. Great and accessible administrative. The director was very nice to me. The board is in charge of many historical places in Ghana. Visit for quick consultation and possibly access of any Ghana monument of choice.

A good place of history...

I was only at the restaurant

This is a place to visit

It's a nice heritage center. It was fun getting to know more about the country from here

Incomplete building

It's under construction

I love this place but there should be more work done to what is available. More renovations and modern or technology should be included in their servicing

It was a nice experience. Much trained Tour Guides... I recommend to all.

Excellent

Needs major restorative and renovative work.. The public agencies overseeing such national interests must wake from their years of slumber.

I loved learning about the history of Ghana

It's interesting

it's spacious and in the central business center

It's a cool space for art exhibitions

Abandoned musuem! No guide, nothing! The place has a few old techs like Morse key, phonograph, LCD projector and arts. This place should be renovated or used for something else. It's being wasted

Very nice place

Lovely to have it opened after 7 years on Friday 10 June 2022. The history of Ghana is absolutely essential to share.

First of all Kwame Nkrumahs head os broken from the statue. Broken walls Non functioning fountains The place is in such a deplorable state. I wonder what happened to the entry fees

Was closed temporarily but has been reopened by the Ghana Museum's and Monuments Board

Friendly interesting guide explaining the history of Ghana and Accra. The museam isn't that big but the staff made up dor any lack in exhibits

Culture of the indigenes of Ghana, contemporary Art....Diversity of the nation.Such a beautiful nation

Sam gave a fantastic tour of the collections although I had higher expectations given how long the museum had been closed for the renovations. The theme of Unity in diversity is great and they did a good job of displaying materials and examples from various regions. A nice introducing experience for visitors.

It was a nice experience learning to know more about African culture especially that of natives of Ghana in the museum. As well as many other art works of Ghanaian great artist works. Some historical items and a lot more. You can visit as well.

Museums fans It’s the most important place to learn knowledge where you visit. And i’m really interested in the culture and the history of Ghana! It’s amazing at artistic works!

The museum is a really great place to learn about the Ghana roots the visuals are also amazing and it was interesting to learn the history.

The National Museum is one of the treasures of Ghana, as it preserves the history and culture of the land, they were all so beautiful to see and I particularly liked the echoing effect under the spider web right at the centre of the hall .🤗🥳😆😆. They have very courteous staff and the lady in charge was so generous and thoughtful 🙏💕. When you visit Ghana, don't forget to visit the National museum .cheers

If you are a tourist or a citizen, it's definitely a place to visit for more information about the different regions of Ghana and their traditions.

Really beautiful sculptures, a lot to learn about the history and beliefs , the tour was interesting and educative, I enjoyed being here.

Recommend the incredible docents for personalized tour taking you through early ages of development of Ghana, its extensive historical geopolitical trade and influence, rituals and architectural examples of various faith and regional groups. All arranged in circular fashion along points of the Black Star at its center, key theme heart and soul of the nation, like Marcus Garvey and WEB DuBois rolled in together. Included video, large panel displays and variety of artifacts, engaging for all ages and accessible. Very interesting and informative, great to orient to understand the country and culture. This and Bisa Aberwa Museum in Sekondi are a must do for those seriously interested in learning about the people and cultures of Ghana.

Very beautiful place that tells the whole history of Ghana from the dark age to the present in an unforgettable way.

nice, but actually a bit little

Throughly enjoyable experience. Extremely informative. Guide very knowledgeable and humorous.Relaxed atmosphere. Sign posting bad. Needs to be advertised much more. Hidden gem. Lots of parking. Got there around 4.pm Thursday in January. Not very busy. Staff very friendly. Nice small gift shop. Didn't see a cafe. Would be nice if they sold cold drinks to the side. Didn't visit the wash room so can't comment on that. Please visit.
