Hosting Miles Greenwood (Museum of Liverpool) and Dr Monicah Sairo (Museum of Kenya), fellows of MuseumLabs 2025, on our Elmina Heritage Tour was an insightful experience.

Beyond the Castle, the walk through town revealed Elmina’s fishing traditions, cultural continuity, and its balance between holding onto the past and embracing modern life. Our conversations centred on the need for inclusive interpretation of a painful history.

A reminder that memory and community heritage still shape identities and spaces today. 📸 Ghana Museums and Monuments Board

I received a call from my good friend Henry Amartey to meet him at the education directorate of KEEA, little did I know it was a friendly ambush. I got there only to be ushered into the office of the Director of Education for KEEA madam Mercy Akua Lissar and be presented with this beautiful citation. Honestly it never crossed my mind for a split second. But I truly appreciate this, I jokingly told him he is playing home and is at a numerical advantage, had I known I would have also come with the compliment of my team. The citation was in appreciation for the social interventions carried out in the Agona Abrem Circuit of KEEA by our organisation Michael Kunke Foundation. I don’t do this alone, there is a team I work with and I received this citation on behalf of the team at Michael Kunke Foundation and also to our partners without whom this would not be possible Lemon Beach Resort Freelancenana Travels Felicia Brown-Smith RazorSocial Armen D Ross Embassy of the Czech Republic in Accra Nana Preston Sophia Pryce Samuel Nyarkoh I say a big thank you and to everyone who has contributed in one way or the other.

The Second Battle of Elmina raged for six days as Dutch forces laid siege to Portuguese Elmina. After fierce cannon fire from St. Jago Hill, the Portuguese surrendered—ushering in 235 years of Dutch rule.
But this victory didn’t come easy. Earlier Dutch attempts in 1596 and the First Battle of Elmina in 1625 both failed. The Dutch only learned of Elmina’s gold years before through Barent Eriksz, a sailor once captured by the Portuguese on São Tomé.
Today, Dutch surnames, architecture, and cultural traces remain part of Elmina’s living history.
Elmina – where history still lives.

From Keta in the Volta Region to Beyin in the Western Region, Ghana’s 500km coastline is marked by forts and castles—global monuments of Afro-European trade relations that span over four centuries. These sites are more than historical landmarks; they serve as solemn reminders of the transatlantic slave trade and as starting and return points for the African
