· We will visit the newly renovated Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park for the first President of Ghana - Dr. Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. The 5.4-acre facility was built in 1992 to honor, promote, and preserve the legacies of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The museum has on display objects from various stages of Nkrumah’s life. The redeveloped facility has a reception center, a modern library, a café, a gift shop, an infirmary, and a digitally controlled conference facility. It also boasts an audio-visually synchronized fountain that lights up the park at night, a mini-amphitheater for lectures and performances, and a picnic area.

How about trying out your bargaining skills at the largest open market in Accra while you shop for locally produced unique traditional handicrafts such as woven Kente cloths, sculptures, carvings, leather bags, jewelry, beads, African attire, and woven baskets? You will admire the art galleries and a range of other traditional items that depict Ghana’s culture and heritage, as well as crafts from other neighboring countries. The center also offers programs, plays, and cultural events.
