This historic Museum holds centuries long history of the Asante Kingdom. It was a privilege visiting this place. You need to buy tickets and wait about 10mins to get in, depending on the number of visitors present. The environment is beautiful and serene. It has a fish pound with cement benches sit and feed the fishes. There is a tour guide present who gives information in both twi and English. He gives a video show on the history of the museum before the tour starts. It’s a perfect place for tourists, school children excursions, family and friends day out. You will get African artifacts to purchase. It’s a no picture zone when you center the museum proper. Well, I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist… had to brëâk the rules. Do visit, you will love it

I've been to this museum about 5 times over the years starting back in 2009 and I just took my students on Friday and I was so impressed with the major improvements to the facilities. The palace was closed last year for renovations and I was uncertain about what they would entail. A major issue I had noticed prior was poor lighting and upkeep and honestly having new lighting and refinishing the wood panel ceilings, and probably fresh paint made a huge difference. They also enclosed the area where you sit and learn about the history prior to the tour. The part I think I noticed as most impactful was the script by the guide which seemed more detailed and engaging as we toured the place.

I last came here six years ago and vast improvements have been made. The outside area is great for snapping photos. The tour guide was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. This is a great place and worth your money! The only downside is no pictures can be taken inside the museum.

History is been told about the Asanti Kingdom anytime you visit, educative,informative,cultured.enlightened you to know how this Kingdom was established. Indeed history is part of the human life that can not be espirence by younger generations but can only be taught.

The second palace of the Ashante kingdom and palatial grounds is a must see with the guided tour. Come now to get prepared for the next quinquennial royal celebration in 2024.
