Nkyinkyim Museum, a space dedicated to visual archiving of African history and African Heritage. Nestled in the farmlands of Nuhalenya-Ada in the Greater Accra region. The Nkyinkyim Museum is an evolving museum that seamlessly combines African art, history and performance; intangible cultural heritage such as drumming, dancing, traditional rites and food. The museum experience has been specifically designed to guide visitors towards healing and restorative justice; healing from the legacies of African enslavement and colonialism.
Nkyinkyim Installation and Museum is the creation of Ghanaian multi-disciplinary artist Kwame Akoto-Bamfo, founder of the museum and the Ancestor Project.
Kwame Akoto-Bamfo began archiving oral history and traditions through his sculptures in 2009. The Museum is known for using griots* to unravel the history, symbolism, traditional African religion, and philosophy embodied in the sculptures.
