Manhyia Palace Museum

Manhyia, Kumasi · Ashanti

The Asantehene's palace museum, holding royal regalia, drums, gold and the history of the Ashanti kingdom.

The local tip

Hire the on-site guide; the objects are stunning but the context is what makes the visit, and photography rules vary by room.

Confirm opening and whether the Asantehene is in residence, which affects access.
