Renowned gospel musicians Mary Ghansah and Dina Hopeson have proposed the establishment of a Ghanaian Music Heritage Museum, presenting the concept to the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie.
The proposed project, to be located on land at Gbawe South, also known as Adaruma, is designed to preserve the legacies of Ghana’s music legends while providing structured support for ageing artistes. According to the proponents, the complex would feature a museum chronicling the country’s musical evolution alongside social support facilities aimed at safeguarding the welfare of veteran performers.
The initiative is envisioned as a national knowledge hub that would document Ghana’s rich musical heritage, educate future generations and promote cultural tourism.
Hon. Gomashie welcomed the proposal, commending the musicians for their foresight and commitment to cultural preservation. She reaffirmed the Ministry’s readiness to support initiatives that protect and promote Ghana’s creative and cultural assets.
The engagement forms part of broader efforts to strengthen Ghana’s cultural infrastructure and ensure that the contributions of pioneering artistes are preserved for posterity while addressing the social needs of those who helped shape the nation’s music industry.
