The three-story gallery was built by renowned Ghanaian artist Ablade Glover and is a treasure trove of Asafo flags, masks, furniture, and distinctive metal sculptures. The majority of the works by almost all of the well-known Ghanaian painters are for sale.
Cape Coast
One of Africa’s most important cultural hubs is Cape Coast, a historic European colonial city. The town, which the Portuguese originally called Cabo Corso, housed the largest slave trade hub in West Africa. Slaves were brought here, kept in the castle of the oppressive town, and then loaded aboard ships bound for the New World. You will experience a lot of emotion as a result of what you see here. Nowadays, Cape Coast is mostly a fishing community with an artsy vibe. The streets, which are dotted with ancient colonial buildings, are delightful places to wander. From Cape Coast, you can travel to Anomabu, Elmina, and Kakum National Park.
Kakum National Park
One of the best day-trips from Cape Coast is to Kakum National Park. There are roughly 600 kinds of butterflies, 300 species of birds, and 40 species of animals. The park’s most well-liked feature is the canopy walk. It is made up of a number of platforms for observation connected by safe suspension bridges that are roughly 30 metres above the park’s ground level. If you want a more in-depth look, make plans in advance to have a park ranger or tour guide follow you farther into the park.
