Bisa Aberwa Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Bisa Aberwa Road, this place is a real treasure for anyone wanting to understand our local history. It feels less like a formal museum and more like walking into a well-kept community archive, full of stories passed down through generations. You'll find everything from faded photographs of old Sekondi-Takoradi to tools and textiles that speak of daily life long before our time. The passion of the folks who run it is palpable; they truly want every visitor to leave feeling a connection to this place.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate Ashanti gold weights, small brass figures used for measuring gold dust that are miniature works of art. Another standout is the collection of traditional Nzema fishing gear, telling the story of how the sea has sustained this community for centuries. Personal items from early 20th-century families, like wooden chests and ceremonial cloth, make the past feel immediate and personal.
Visitor Information
It's a good idea to call ahead if you're making a special trip, as hours can be flexible. The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable and love to chat, so don't be shy with your questions.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a modest, weathered building that blends into the neighborhood, it has the unassuming look of a family home that's been added onto over the years.
