National museum in Accra

I really liked the national museum. We were supposed to go to National art center but the cab driver took us to the museum instead. This is a museum which is also a shop. The products are quite good and reasonably priced. The entrance fee is 7 cedis per person. I picked up an earring with symbols that say god is within me. I did not know that the symbol meant that in Ashanti but now I know because a few people told me so. I also picked up a nice original painting. My goal of no more decorating with prints like a grad student is completely plausible in Ghana with the choice of art and pricing. The national art center in turn turned out to be very hassly. The shop keepers were aggressively trying to sell their products and they crowd around you. I did not like the center much because of the attitude but I found one shop to pick up good bead products. I might have to return to the center to visit that shop again.

Ghana Beads are really beautiful and I plan to explore it more.
