DESPITE AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Accra, the Despite Automobile Museum is one of those wonderfully unexpected finds. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into a world-class private garage where every car has a story. The air is thick with the scent of old leather and polished chrome, a quiet sanctuary from the city's buzz. You don't just see the history here; you feel it in the gleam of the fenders and the worn steering wheels.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly Osei Tutu Agyeman's own personal Rolls-Royce, a silver phantom of pure elegance. But my eyes kept drifting to the more humble yet equally fascinating classics, like a beautifully preserved Volkswagen Beetle that probably navigated Accra's streets decades ago.
Visitor Information
It's located on Cotton Street, but it feels like a local secret—you'll want to have your maps app ready. The vibe is incredibly relaxed; there are no velvet ropes, so you can get up close and truly appreciate these machines.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a modern, unassuming building that gives nothing away from the outside, making the treasure trove of classic cars inside all the more surprising.
