L'edificio del museo è stato inaugurato il 5 marzo 1957, nell'ambito delle celebrazioni dell'indipendenza del Ghana dalla Gran Bretagna. L'Università del Ghana, a Legon, un sobborgo di Accra, è stata determinante per la sua apertura. Primo direttore del Museo è stato l'inglese Arnold Walter Lawrence. La collezione permanente comprende reperti archeologici, come reperti preistorici, ma anche ampio materiale sul recente passato storico. Ci sono anche oggetti provenienti da altri paesi africani acquisiti attraverso lo scambio. Gli esempi sono maschere Senfu della Costa d'Avorio, figure Zulu in legno e oggetti di perle dall'Africa del sud ed anche delle teste di bronzo, antiche sculture dalla Nigeria e dalla Repubblica Democratica del Congo. Una piccola parte è dedicata all'arte contemporanea ghanese con dipinti eseguiti ad olio, pastelli, acrilici, acquerelli e collage. Oltre a alla pittura un'altra parte è dedicata alla scultura.

Action Chapel International

Action Chapel International (ACI) is a Charismatic Christian church based in Accra, Ghana. The church was founded by Nicholas Duncan-Williams in 1979, and since 1992 has met in the "Prayer Cathedral" near Accra airport. It is the headquarters of Christian Action Faith Ministries (CAFM). Building Since 1992 Action Chapel International has met in the imposing "Prayer Cathedral" near Accra airport, although the building was not opened officially until 2002 and as of 2003 was still under construction. The 8,000-seat Prayer Cathedral of Action Chapel International on Spintex Road is the largest church building in Accra. History Nicholas Duncan-Williams, a disciple of Benson Idahosa, founded the Christian Action Faith Ministries (CAFM) and the Action Chapel International (ACI) church in 1979. The CAFM was the first Charismatic church in Ghana. It was followed by the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) in 1984. The Christian Action Faith Ministries has its headquarters at Action Chapel International, which is one of Accra's largest mega-churches. In 1995 there were about 8,000 members of the church. The church held just one service on Sunday morning in English, with translation into Ewe and French. The exuberant "praise and worship" part of the service was musical. Choirs and soloists performed, but in most songs the whole congregation participated, with a 10-piece band as backup. A single hymn might last for twenty minutes, with much repetition, creating an exhilarating experience. The music would be followed by the sermon. By 1998 Duncan-Williams was mainly resident in the US. Bishop James Saah and pastor Clive Mold were running the church in Ghana. Duncan-Williams divorced his wife Francisca in March 2001, but later remarried her. Francisca Duncan-William was active in the church, organizing all the women's activities, and was founder of the Pastors; Wives and Women in Ministry Association. The couple's personal problems may have affected church attendance. About 3,000 people were attending the Sunday services in 2003, many of them middle-class professionals and business people. At this time the church held two services on Sunday, as well as other sessions throughout the week. This was down from about 6,000 attendees five years earlier. As of 2015 Duncan Williams was still head of Action Chapel International, and was also chairman of the National Association of Charismatic and Christian Churches (NACCC). ACI sponsors the Dominion University College in Accra. References Sources

Fort St. Anthony (Ghana)

Das heutige Fort St. Anthony an der Küste Ghanas nahe der Stadt Axim wurde 1515 als Festung São Antonio von den Portugiesen errichtet. Geschichte Die Festung São Antonio war nach dem Fort São Jorge da Mina der zweite Festungsbau der Portugiesen (und einer europäischen Macht überhaupt) an der westafrikanischen Goldküste. 1503 hatten sie etwas östlich der späteren Festung, näher an der Mündung des Flusses Ankobra, einen kleinen Handelsposten errichtet, der allerdings unter ständigen Angriffen der Bewohner eines Ortes namens „Achombene“ litt. 1642 eroberten die Niederländer das Fort und behielten es bis zum Jahr 1872, als sie mit den Briten zur Vereinfachung der Verwaltung verschiedene Festungen an der Küste Ghanas tauschten. 1642 wurde hier der Vertrag von Axim unterzeichnet. 1664 eroberten die Briten die Festung, mussten sie aber bereits im darauffolgenden Jahr wieder an die Niederländer zurückgeben. Über die Festung wickelten erst die Portugiesen und nach der Eroberung die Niederländer äußerst erfolgreich ihren Goldhandel mit dem an diesem Edelmetall reichen Umland ab. Angeblich wurde über Fort St. Anthony eine Zeitlang mehr Gold gehandelt als über sämtliche anderen Festungen der Goldküste zusammen. Anlage Der Bau war ursprünglich annähernd dreieckig, womit er der Form des Kaps folgte, auf dem er errichtet war, und hatte seine stärksten Verteidigungsanlagen auf der Landseite. Dort wurde ein drei Meter tiefer Graben in den Felsen gehauen. Auf der Seeseite war sie durch einige felsige kleine Inseln und gefährliche Riffe vor der Annäherung feindlicher Schiffe geschützt, wie auf dem Kupferstich oben gut zu sehen ist. Gerade diese natürliche Verteidigungsanlage wurde den Portugiesen jedoch 1642 zum Verhängnis, als die Niederländer dort Kanonen aufstellten und die Festung beschossen. Quellen Weblinks
Santo Antonio de Axim

Santo Antonio de Axim (ook wel alleen Axim genoemd) was een Portugees, Nederlands en Brits fort aan de Goudkust in Ghana. In augustus 1503 bouwde Portugal een kleine handelspost ten westen van de kaap Three Points. Zij gaven het de huidige naam. In 1515 werd het fort versterkt met enkele bastions en kanonnen. Tijdens de Portugese periode was het fort vooral belangrijk als centrum voor de handel in slaven, ivoor en goud. In het fort waren 10 tot 20 Portugese soldaten gevestigd en als het nodig was konden de Portugezen hulp krijgen van 150 inheemse Afrikaanse soldaten. Na de verovering van São Jorge da Mina door de Nederlanders kwamen er nog een paar meer Portugezen. De eerste aanval van de WIC in 1641 had geen succes. Maar een nieuwe poging in februari 1642 slaagde wel. In 1664 kwam het fort in handen van de Britten, maar de Nederlanders wisten het fort te heroveren. Het bleef in Nederlandse handen tot aan het jaar 1872. Zie ook Forten en kastelen, Volta, Groot-Accra en de centrale en westelijke regio's

Ghana Satellite Earth Station

The Ghana Satellite Earth Station, now The Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO), is the largest satellite station in Ghana and hosts the largest steerable single-dish radio telescope in Africa. The satellite station is situated at Kuntunse, on the Accra - Nsawam Road, a suburb of Accra in the Greater Accra Region. The satellite station has five receiver dishes: One main dish- 32 m Two medium dishes Two small dishes History The station originally commissioned in 1981, is managed by the Ghana Space Science and technology Institute, following its release from Vodafone company back to the Ghana government, and subsequently to the Institute under the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission. In 2017, it was announced the 32-meter (105 feet) former communications antenna had begun operations as an astronomical radio telescope. The telescope's "first light" science observations included methanol maser detections, pulsar observations and VLBI fringe testing. Early science results were announced in 2026. Land and Security Challenges The Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory at Kuntunse has experienced significant encroachment on its originally state-acquired land, which has been reduced from 163 acres to approximately 30 acres over the past four decades. This encroachment has resulted in the construction of buildings and the presence of household electronic devices near the facility, which interfere with the observatory's radio signal reception and restrict the effective operational range of its telescopes. The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission and Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute have raised concerns about the impact of these developments on the observatory's research capabilities and its role in global space science. In response, the government has deployed military personnel to secure the site and has funded the construction of defensive perimeter walls, including a GH¢1 million fence around the remaining land, to prevent further encroachment. These measures aim to preserve the observatory's functionality and safeguard Ghana's investment in space science infrastructure. References
