March 5th, 1957 marked the opening of the largest and oldest of the six museums under the administration of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board, which was established by the Duchess of Kent Princess Marina. The artefacts in the archaeology section span from the recent past to the Stone Age. Those on permanent exhibition at the ethnography gallery include chief's regalia, indigenous Ghanaian musical instruments, gold weights, beads, traditional textiles, stools and pottery. There are also items from other African nations that were obtained via trade. Senufo masks from Ivory Coast, wooden Zulu figures, and beaded items from Southern Africa are a few examples. Bushongo carvings from the Congo and ancient Ife bronze heads from Nigeria are also present. The modest but striking art gallery's displays mostly feature modern paintings created in oils, pastels, acrylics, watercolours, and collages by contemporary Ghanaians. In addition to these, there are sculptures made of various materials.
