Pan African Heritage World Museum

The Pan African Heritage World Museum (PAHM) is a museum project in Ghana's Central Region, conceived to tell the story of Africa using African voices, tools and culture. It is not a finished attraction: the site is under construction, and the elements described in its plans are not confirmed as built or open to the public.

The project occupies a 10-acre site at Pomadze Hills, about one kilometre uphill from Winneba Junction in the Effutu Municipality, roughly 60km (40 miles) west of Accra. The official PAHM website refers to the location as its "Pomadze (Winneba) site". The complex is designed in the shape of a horn — a communication tool announcing Africa's renaissance — by Nigerian principal architect James Inedu-George.

Planned elements reported for the complex include a one-acre, five-storey museum, a three-acre Herbal Plants Village with chalets, a conference hall, restaurants and food stores, a palace of African kingdoms, an African cuisine court, a Pan-African Heroes and Heroines Park, a library, an innovation and convention centre, and a Hall of Fame. Reporting also describes a garden of sculptures, a herbal garden, space for festivals, concerts, film shows and exhibitions, and a two-acre plot replicating selected African kingdoms. None of these are confirmed as operational.

The project is the brainchild of Kojo Acquah Yankah, founder of the African University College of Communications, and is funded through donations at an estimated cost of about US$50 million. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo performed the groundbreaking ceremony in April 2021. A virtual or digital version of the museum was launched, and PAHM has partnered with UNESCO on a Pan African Digital Museum.

For planning, the operator's website lists opening hours of 9.30am to 6.00pm daily, closed on Sundays and holidays. Because the physical museum remains under construction, visitors should treat those hours as applying to the operator's current arrangements rather than to a completed museum complex, and should confirm access before travelling.
