Manhyia Palace Museum (Asantehene's Palace)

Erected in 1925 by the British Colonial Government, it served as the private residence for Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh I upon his return from Seychelles after twenty-eight years in exile. Step into the Manhyia Palace Museum and immerse yourself in the grandeur of Ashanti history.

In 1874 the British army invaded Kumasi and destroyed part of the city. The Asantehene, Kofi Karikari (reigned 1867–1874) was deposed and obliged to pay an indemnity to cover the costs of the British military expedition.

The Manhyia Palace is the seat and residence of the Asantehene, the traditional ruler, or king, of the Ashanti Kingdom and the Ashanti Region.
