Construction is now officially underway for the visionary $50-million Pan-African Heritage Museum project nestled in the heart of Pomadze within the Effutu Municipality of Ghana’s Central Region. The museum will be situated just one kilometer uphill from the Winneba Junction. This state-of-the-art museum aspires to bridge educational and historical divides exacerbated by miseducation and suppression, offering a common space for people of African descent.
