The Vision

A new landmark for Africa.

Blackstar Museum is envisioned as more than a museum. It is a living cultural and knowledge campus where the story of Africa, the story of humanity and the possibilities of our future can exist in one extraordinary destination.

Located in Ghana, the project is designed for Africans, the global African diaspora, international visitors, students, researchers, families and future generations. It will preserve the past, interpret the present and invite people to imagine what comes next.

TODAY

Africa Now

The 100-Acre Campus
