The Kumasi Cultural Centre is a beating heart of tradition and creativity, where the art, music, and spiritual practices of the Ashanti people are preserved and performed. Nestled in the city center, the center offers a vibrant mix of galleries, workshops, craft markets, and open-air performances.
Here, artisans carve stools, weave kente, mold pottery, and craft brass weights before your eyes. The Prempeh II Jubilee Museum on-site displays sacred items such as gold ornaments, chief regalia, and historical documents. At the nearby open courtyard, visitors can often witness live drumming, dancing, and storytelling by local cultural troupes.
Whether you're learning to play the talking drum or shopping for handcrafted souvenirs, the Kumasi Cultural Centre invites you to engage with Ashanti culture in an authentic, participatory way.
