Palais des Sultans Bamoun

This is a highly unique medieval chateau type of palace created through Sultan Ibrahim Njoya's cooperation with German colonialists circa 1917. In this structure, you can find the Sultan's Museum, which is further accentuated by a museum down the way called the Musée des Arts et des Traditions Bamoun. It may also be known as Musee De Foumban, and is really quite incredible in that it takes on the appearance of a double-headed snake with spider perched on top. Really quite a feast for the eyes. Between these two venues, many aspects of Bamoun culture and chiefdom are displayed, from masks to weaponry to thrones.
