In 2027, Ghana will mark a significant milestone—70 years since it became the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence from colonial rule. To honour this momentous occasion, the National Museum of Ghana is proud to host a monumental exhibition, Ghana 1957: Art After Independence, which explores the profound influence of Ghana’s independence on the visual arts, art education, and exhibition making.
