The original is in residential Tempane, a village in the far northeast of Ghana. The people of the Kusasi live in this habitat. The principal means of livelihood is agriculture. The museum has attempted to simulate reality as much as possible. In addition to traditional elements such as round houses without doors, you will also find European influences, such as front doors, furniture, radios and bicycles. Adjustments have been necessary with regard to building materials and size of the yard.
