The Nana Yaa Asantewaa Museum was established in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality in the year 2000 to pay homage to the legendary queen mother, Nana Yaa Asantewaa.
The Yaa Asantewaa Museum is a museum in Ejisu Municipal District in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It was built to honor Ashanti leader Yaa Asantewaa, who was the queen mother of Ejisu.
The museum was established in 2000, to mark the centenary of the Yaa Asantewaa War. It aimed to recreate a typical Asante royal residence from 1900.
In 2004, the museum was gutted by a fire. Most of its relics that were inside were destroyed, and only a few clay pots remained. As a result of the fire and closure of the museum, tourism within the area significantly decreased. [1]
In October 2009, local leaders expressed a desire to refurbish the museum, and in 2016 UNICEF agreed to contribute US$10 million towards its reconstruction. The new facility will be constructed on a 14-acre plot of land.
