Museums in the palaces of the Cameroon Grassfields: concerns about accessibility and sustainability

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This policy brief argues for the construction of museums outside palaces in order to give visitors and the community an opportunity to fully explore museum collections and to facilitate sustainability of the museum for present and future generations. When museums are constructed in community centres, members of the community feel they have a stake in these heritage sites, not only as beneficiaries but also as initiators of the intervention. In this way they are empowered by ownership of their heritage.
