Volta Regional Museum

Volta Regional Museum is a cultural institution in Ho that gathers traditional objects from across the region. The collection includes woodcraft, pottery, masks, textiles, and other handmade items that demonstrate the artistic skills and daily life of local communities.

The building originally served as the House of Chiefs headquarters before the government converted it into a museum in 1973. It now preserves objects from the periods when Germany and Britain ruled the region.

The displays feature chiefly regalia including ornamental swords and state chairs that show how leaders held power and were respected in their communities. These items reveal the traditions of authority and rank that structured local societies.

The museum is accessible most days and located in central Ho where visitors can reach it easily. Plan to spend a couple of hours exploring the collections at a comfortable pace.

The museum holds a collection of maps and stone artifacts from the era of German Togoland, showing how the region's boundaries were defined during that period. These geographical and physical objects illustrate the complex colonial history of the area.
