Museum for Science and Technology

The Museum of Science and Technology in Accra, Ghana was established in 1963 and first opened its doors in 1965.  The museum is under the administration of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board and the National Commission on Culture. Its aim is to create an awareness of past and present developments in science and technology in Ghana. Two lecturers from the University of Ghana presented a proposal to Kwame Nkrumah, President of Ghana at the time.

In addition to displaying exhibits to the public, the museum contains a library. It also organises educational activities for school children.  In 2019 there was an Evolution of Science exhibition funded by Wellcome which highlighted activities related to health and space research
