A Historic Landmark

The museum building itself is steeped in history. Originally serving as the Office of the Regional House of Chiefs, the structure was later acquired by the Government of Ghana in 1967. Just a few years later, in 1973, the Volta Regional Museum officially opened its doors to the public, becoming a vital institution for cultural preservation and education.
