Asantehene's Palace
A visit to this former king's residence is a most worthwhile activity.
Prempeh II Jubilee Museum
Features artifacts and personal belongings of former Asante kings including a reproduction of the golden stool.
Manhyia Palace Museum
Built in 1925 by the British as the residence of King Asantehene Prempeh I, this museum is also a palace. Walking through the museum, you will learn about the function of each room when it was used by the kings, as well as seeing artwork and artifacts from the Asante kings.
Ghana Armed Forces Museum
The museum buildings once served as Kumasi Fort, built by the British in 1896 after they destroyed the Asante Fort that originally stood here. The museum predominantly features information and artifacts related to the British-Asante War, but also includes many artifacts from World War I, World War II, and information about modern Ghanaian military history. Tour guides are friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
