Prempeh Jubliee museum tells a story of the Ashanti kingdom and how they conquered their freedom. It was destined by then chief priest of the Ashanti kingdom that Nana Sir Osei Agyeman Prempeh is going to be the king of the Ahanti stool. Asantehene Prempeh II of the Ashanti was born in 1892 in the capital Kumasi. He was four years old when his uncle, Prempeh I (the 13th Asantehene), his maternal grandmother, queen Nana Yaa Akyaa, and other family members were captured and exiled to the Seychelles Islands by the British in 1896. Prempeh II (Otumfuo Nana Sir Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II, KBE, c. 1892 – 27 May 1970),was the 14th Asantehene, or king of the Ashanti (Ruler of the Asante ), reigning from 22 June 1931 to 27 May 1970. Otumfo) Osei tutu II now the king of Ashanteman Kingdom bares the power of the Ahante kingdom. It may interest you to know Nana Osei Prempeh II is the Father of Allan Kwadwo Kyeremanten the Minister of Trade and Industry currently in the Akuffo addo regime. The Ashanti museum tells us the history of how Akan/Ashanti does their things and the necessary cultural activities of the people. Lemme brief you on some; (1) The Tripod stand ( Kantankrakyi) a sword placed in front of the king's wives house to warn men off from reaching out to the kings choice. (2) Mponponsuo Afare.. a sword carried by the chief bearer for Turner of and into office of the asanteman stool. (3) state sword ( Katenimfena )a sword and gold cast emblems with leather bearing for the protection of the king who's on the state. And the like of the (4) Nyansapo stool, (5) Golden stool (Sika dwa) and the (6) the Gold finger rings which the kings wears when on the public. The way of life of the Ashanti kingdom right from fake Ashanti still given to the white on the quest of the Ashanti stool. It is believed that the king's feet shouldn't touch the ground when bathing so the horn of an elephant is places under his feet and that the day his feet touches ground, he will be out off the his kinship powers. He has a special bath sponge, towel and oil to rob his body. A special drum to call when I aid from the attack of enemies which sound like the roaring lion in the wilderness to scare his enemies away in the battle field. This and many more.. Visit today and learn yourself of this great history.

The Prempeh II Jubilee Museum located within the National Centre for Culture is the place to start from when you want to learn about the history of the Ashantis. In contrast to the Manhyia Palace Museum which is a museum of Asante Kingship in the late colonial and post-colonial eras of Ghana, the Prempeh II Museum is a museum of Asante history and culture in the pre-colonial and early colonial era. The museum located in an open-air enclosed building shows relics from the Ashanti Empire over a period of 400-500 years. You will find chairs and stools used by pre-colonial Asante Kings, household items used by Asante Kings, garments, guns and other elements used by the Ashantis in their wars and conquests; pots, bags, grinding stones, knives and machetes; headgears, bracelets and anklets, etc. This place houses the fake golden stool the Ashantis gave to the British when they demanded for the original golden stool. You will also find linguist staffs bearing the totems of the 8 Akan clans; the first cloth worn by the Asante people made from the bark of a tree and other garments that followed to give way to the Kente. You will also see an old palanquin for the King and one for the Queenmother. Also on display are the talking drums used to send out messages in times past and in wars. It was fun having my tour guide speak Twi and having to ask for clarification for some of the things she said. Photo-taking is not allowed.

With the rich history of the Ashanti Kingdom, this is one musuem you'd love to visit. However, our guide made a fuss about nothing when asked to talk about the golden stool. This is a major part of the Ashanti history and he made it look like we were about to steal the stool. You can't take picture in here and there are CCTV cameras all around.

The artifacts in the museum talks about the Asante's beautiful history and their culture. The building itself is an old Asante architectural design with four chambers and a courtyard with a traditional kitchen setup for the Asante Kings from centuries ago.

The visit was bittersweet for me. It was sweet because I got to learn a lot from the Asante history and how it has survived till date. But my anger was how they have left those stuffs outside without a proper display.... Shameful I must say. I expected way more than that. The museum guide was very knowledgeable and smart

Great place. A guided tour is included as part of the price and the guide Keane was great - thorough and very knowledgeable. This place is definitely worth a visit to learn more about Ashanti history and customs.

I recommend this very small museum (took us less than an 1h) for a visit. There is a guide who will explain everything about the things that are exhibited and about the Ashanti kingdom.

Mediocre at best. For small open space with pictures and some items. This all presented by a unemotional tour. Took 15 minutes - off you are slow

Just Okay by Ghanaian standards plastic seats all ripped off. Bathrooms terrible. Who cares in Ghana? Officials love V8 more than basic hygiene

Very nice and attractive place to be

It's a very small museum, but the guide was very engaged, answered all the questions, which made visit a worthy of attention.

The heritage education and experience is one of a kind and more Ghanaian children must be brought here for this experience.
