GMMB ADVANCES DIGITAL INNOVATION IN MUSEUM EXPERIENCES

The Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB) has received a Virtual Reality (VR) headset presented by T.J. Dusu of Dusu Studios to the Museum of Science and Technology (MST).

The presentation was attended by the Executive Director of GMMB, Mr. Kwesi Essel Blankson; the Head of the Museum of Science and Technology, Madam Akosua Saah Buckman; and other members of GMMB management.

The donation presents an opportunity to explore how immersive digital technologies can support museum education, interpretation, and visitor engagement. By introducing visitors to virtual experiences, technologies such as VR can offer new ways to explore scientific concepts, discover knowledge, and interact with museum content.

GMMB appreciates T.J. Dusu and Dusu Studios for this contribution towards exploring innovative approaches to museum experiences and looks forward to opportunities for integrating digital technology into its educational and public engagement activities.

Preserving our heritage. Embracing innovation. Inspiring discovery.

Discover the History of Fort William Lighthouse!

Located atop Dawson’s Hill in the heart of Cape Coast, Ghana, Fort William Lighthouse stands as a beacon of history and heritage. Often called Cape Coast Castle Light, this iconic landmark is just 600 meters from the famous Cape Coast Castle.

Originally constructed in 1820 by the British under Governor Hope-Smith and named Smith’s Tower, this historic structure was rebuilt in the 1830s and renamed Fort William. Since then, it has faithfully served as a lighthouse, guiding countless ships to safety.

MANILLA: MONEY BEFORE COINS
Before colonial currency systems, Manillas served as an important form of commodity money across parts of West Africa, including areas that influenced trade networks in present-day Ghana.

Manillas were metal, bracelet-like objects produced in large quantities and in varied designs, sizes, and weights. They existed in different forms such as ivory, stone, bronze, and silver manillas, functioning both as currency and decorative objects.

They were used in everyday economic and social life—for trade, payments, fines, and ceremonial exchanges—while also symbolising wealth, prestige, and social status, especially when worn as ornaments.

Manillas remained in circulation until the late 1940s, even as colonial authorities introduced modern coinage. Today, they survive mainly as decorative and cultural objects, reminding us of Africa’s indigenous economic systems and the sophistication of pre-colonial trade.

Currently on display at the National Museum are some Manilla collections and more. The Gallery is open to the public daily from 9: 00 am to 4:30pm.
