More than a museum, it is a sacred space where the political, spiritual, and social history continue to be preserved and shared with the world. The building as a palace with administrative rooms was originally constructed in 1925 as the private residence of the Asantehene (the King), Nana Agyeman Prempeh I. This followed his return from 28 years of British imposed exile (first in Freetown, Sierra Leone and then the Seychelles Islands) from 1897. The palace was inherited by his successor-nephew Otumfuo Osei Agyeman Prempeh II and briefly from 1970-1974 by Prempeh II’s brother, Otumfuo Opoku Ware II. It underwent careful restoration in its 70th year in 1995 which was also the 25th anniversary of the enstoolment or coronation of Otumfuo Opoku Ware II. It was afterwards and officially inaugurated as the MPM. Credit: l. Agyeman-Duah Personal Collections.
