💡 Focus on the basement—it has the best displays on pre-colonial life. Plan for 45 minutes max; the air conditioning is a bonus.
💡 Arrive before noon to avoid the heat. Bring a hat and water, and skip the guided tour if you’re short on cash—the exhibits are self-explanatory.
💡 Avoid Sundays unless you want a packed crowd. Go on a weekday for a serene experience, and buy fresh coconut from the vendors for 2 GHS.
