Ghana National Museum on Slavery (GNMOS)

Ghana is developing an international institution tentatively named the Ghana National Museum on Slavery and Freedom (GNMOSAF). The government of Ghana has lent its support to the development of GNMOSAF at a location near the historic slave castles at Cape Coast and Elmina in Ghana, both of which have been designated as World Heritage Sites. The museum will serve as the cornerstone of a larger cultural heritage complex which includes a conference center, hotels, shopping, and an entertainment venue for tourists and the people of Ghana. GNMOSAF, as an international institution, will provide archival preservation, documentation, interpretation and education about the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the struggles of African countries for emancipation from colonialism. Upon completion, the $US200+ million development project will stand as one of Africa’s most important cultural resources and institutions advocating the eradication of all forms of modern day slavery and human trafficking. By honoring the lives of past victims of slavery, we seize the opportunity to reconcile as a people globally and to forge a united front against all forms of subjugation and oppression. Grand Opening Summer 2017!
