Visite d'histoire privée d'une demi-journée au musée Nkyinkyim

I appreciated the in depth tour and research on the history of our ancestors.

This was the tour I was most looking forward to on my trip to Accra. After a City Tour and a trip to the Cape Coast, I was excited to see this beautiful, meaningful, powerful art work. Kweku picked me up at my hotel in the morning, and we were off to Nkyinkyim. We chatted most of the way there about Ghana- it's history, culture, government, etc. Kweku was happy to answer any questions I had and he told me about the different areas we were passing through. When we arrived at the museum, one of the artisans working in the collective gave me a tour of the grounds, work, and exhibits. I was also lucky enough to get to see their work on a privately commissioned piece that was breathtaking. Walking through the spiritual gardens and hearing about the meaning behind the work, as well as the incredible wall murals, was wonderful. From there, we went to PramPram to see the African Ancestral Wall, where the designer's 15 year old daughter explained the significance of each of the 92 people portrayed. As a high school teacher, I was amazed at her knowledge. We had a great follow-up conversation about the work. Afterward, it was back to Accra. This was a perfect way to spend the day and a ncie way to cap off my visit to Ghana.

Eye opening experience! Our Driver and our Tour Guide, Isaac were outstanding. Issac adjusted our tour slightly to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend this tour and tour guides. You will not be disappointed!

An artistic environment that made us think about the meaning of life, respects for afterlife, a harmony with natures, and empathies on those going through slavery. It's a solemn place, yet full of optimism, humanities, and humors in the art pieces. All those involved in receiving us did an excellent job. Our tour guide and driver arrived at the hotel 10 minutes prior to pickup time. They were courteous and considerate. We cannot express more how hard they tried to take us to the airport on time for our flight. The narrator in the museum was full of energy. He spoke eloquently with insights, inspiring his visitors with occasional questions to reflect on.

This was a great experience but the tour was very short and too costly. The tour guide was very kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional. Please consider adding more to the tour or at least include lunch.

What a wonderful tour! Timely pickup to start! We drove for about two hours from Cantonment to the Nkinkyim Museum and enjoyed the scenic route while witnessing a true taste of daily life in Ghana ….with street vendors peddling their wares. The conversation with our host drover was riveting and informative. The museum is amazing and you are greeted with towering art. Our guide who is also a griot by tradition shared the stories behind each installation. We completed our private tour after about 1.5 hours and rang the ceremonial bell to signal our departure. I cannot wait to see the completed museum. We then arrived in PramPram at the African Ancenstral Wall! What a gift of self love! Not only was the founder and creator of the wall immensely knowledgeable and inspirational but his wife, who co-manages the restaurant served up the most delicious meal I have had in Ghana. Roasted fish with greens and yam. The hibiscus drink was delicious and not for the faint of heart. I hope you can handle your ginger people! The onsite restaurant was so tastefully decorated. Vibrant colors and patterns on table cloths and custom bamboo seating! Birds enjoyed the flowers and trees …. while we enjoyed our meal with a view of the ocean in the distance. There were so many wonderful sensations. I felt like I was at home with this family of pioneers. The owner’s son was an Impressive teenager who provided information about life and contributions of each historical figure on the wall without blinking an eye. Most of these people of black history and culture were familiar but some unfamiliar. I learned so much! The owner is building a gorgeous library to impart even greater knowledge to the public. I MUST go back to see the new installations by the artists but I have to admit .. getting another taste of that grilled fish is just as motivating a reason to return. It was an unforgettable and beautiful day! My only wish was that I had more time to be at home! Thank you guys so much for making this trip so memorable! Hope to see you again soon! Run to this tour friends ….don’t walk!

Interesting experience Very interesting museum about slavery and discrimination against Africans. A short video showing discrimination and an interview with the artist of the sculptures is followed by a guided tour. The sculptures represent real slaves. The place has an atypical atmosphere and a closer look at the feelings of people who went through slavery historically or in the 21st century (modern slavery).I definitely recommend seeing.

Such a powerfully moving outdoor art experience as a tribute to the slaves. I appreciate learning about Kwame’s work and look forward to returning in a year and seeing the progress as they continue to grow their exhibition with more sculptures. I also enjoyed the art therapy session drumming with Seyram.

Issac was an outstanding guide. The installation and purpose of the museum was powerful and inspirational. History to be recognized and remembered.

The Nkyinkyim Museum tour was the absolute highlight of my trip! The artwork is breathtaking and powerfully moving - truly one of the most impactful museums I've ever visited. My guide Isaac was excellent, and the museum guide was both incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at photography. For anyone interested in culture, art, history, or exploring their roots, this is an absolute must-see in Accra! By the way, I felt completely safe as a female solo traveler.
