Abstract: The objective of this research is to propose an architectural design for the extension of the National Museum of Cameroon as part of its modernization. This project of extension and modernization of the National Museum of Cameroon aims to revitalize this major cultural institution by improving its infrastructures and meeting the expectations of contemporary visitors. By integrating neoclassical architectural elements, references to traditional Cameroonian chiefdoms, as well as contemporary forms, the study proposes a harmonious approach between heritage and modernity. It is structured around the redesign of part of the existing spaces and the creation of new multifunctional blocks, meeting broader needs. Principles of universal accessibility have been applied to make the museum a modern cultural showcase while respecting Cameroonian heritage.
