Conakry National Museum

The Conakry National Museum is a building that collects and displays objects from across Guinea, from ceremonial pieces to everyday craft products. The exhibitions are organized by region and show the different cultures and ways of life throughout the country.

The museum was founded in 1960 shortly after Guinea gained independence. A stone building on the grounds dates back to 1896 and was built by an early European resident of the region.

The museum displays carved masks, drums, and musical instruments created by local craftspeople from across Guinea. These objects reflect artistic traditions that continue to be practiced in communities throughout the country.

The museum sits on the 7th Boulevard near a hospital and is open to visitors during the day. Plan your visit for morning or afternoon hours when the building is accessible.

In the museum courtyard stand statues of historical figures from Guinea's past, showcasing important people from the country's history. Next to these is a cafeteria building with an unusual design shaped like a colonial military hat.
