A great place to know about the history and political past of Ghana and the life of its first president Kwame Nkrumah. A guided tour is recommended to know things in detail. Must visit for students, visitors and historians.

A Timeless Tribute: Discovering the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum Set in the vibrant heart of Accra, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum rises not just as a monument, but as a powerful echo of Ghana’s triumphant march toward independence. This landmark isn’t just a tourist site—it’s a sacred space that captures the essence of leadership, resilience, and the dream of a united Africa. As you step onto the grounds, you’re immediately drawn in by the calm elegance of the surroundings. Wide pathways framed by lush lawns and gentle fountains lead you toward the centerpiece—a towering mausoleum that commands quiet reverence. Designed with purpose and symbolism, the structure resembles an upside-down sword, a traditional Akan sign for peace. Its Italian marble finish and the bold black star perched at its peak remind every visitor of unity and the enduring spirit of Ghana. Inside the mausoleum lies the final resting place of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and his wife, Fathia. Sunlight filters through a graceful skylight, washing the marble floors in a soft glow. It’s a space that doesn’t just commemorate a man—it moves you to reflect on legacy, sacrifice, and purpose. Nearby, the museum offers a window into Nkrumah’s extraordinary life. With carefully curated photographs, writings, and personal belongings, it narrates the story of a man who didn’t just dream of liberation—he fought for it, lived it, and inspired it across a continent. Following a major renovation and relaunch in July 2023, the park now includes modern facilities like a presidential library, an amphitheater, and digital upgrades to make every visit seamless and engaging. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a Pan-African thinker, or simply someone seeking inspiration, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park is more than worth your time—it’s a journey into the heart of Ghana’s soul. Follow for more 🙏🏿❤️🦅

A really great place to learn about Ghana's history through that of its first Prime Minister and first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah. A journey through his life to inspire the Panafrican in you. Clean museum, welcoming guides. Heads up, the entrance is actually at the rear end when you come from the Independence Square. Highly recommend.

It tells a rich history of Ghana's first president Dr Kwame Nkrumah and has several artifacts of him on display. It offers a serene environment with nice views and well-maintained facilities. The place is worth visiting, appropriate for persons of all ages and disability friendly.

Museum is two stories containing pictures, memorabilia, furniture, the car that was gifted to him by JFK, 2 of Kwame's pianos, and a list of famous quotes. He and his wife are buried at the memorial. Admission fee requited to enter and includes a guided tour. There's a restaurant on site and restrooms.

Very beautiful renovation done to the place. The reception area is very cool with ACs. At the time of my visit in June, 2024, locals paid 30 cedis and foreigners paid 100 cedis. You will get access to all areas of the park. There are food vendors also within the park and I really enjoyed their icecream. The museum is amazing with alot of Nkrumah artifacts and history. There are also peacocks roaming around freely in the area. Sitting areas are also available. The only downside to me was the gift shop because I felt the items there were overpriced.
