2. Manhiya Palace Museum

Manhyia Palace Museum is a historical museum located in Kumasi and situated within the Manhyia Palace of the Ashanti Kingdom. First established in 1925 as a private residence for Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh I, the Museum currently provides fair insight into the culture of Ashantiland and Ghana’s cultural legacy from before its colonization by Great Britain. It primarily serves “to commemorate own kings, queens, and leaders and to communicate the riches of their history and culture to future generations”.
