The museum buildings is housed in the Kumasi Fort, built by the British in 1896 after they destroyed the Asante Fort that used to stand here. The museum predominantly features information and artefacts related to the British-Asante War, but also includes many artefacts from World War I, World War II, and information about modern Ghanaian military history. Tour guides are friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

A Kumasi landmark, next to the Kejetia Market, built in 1913.
Largest market in West Africa, with subsections selling clothes, fabrics, home goods, and most anything else including hot meals. The new enclosed market centre is laid out in grids, but the surrounding streets are more crowded and lined with vendors. Can be loud and overwhelming or a rewarding, local experience; use your own judgement.
