The Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB) has announced an exciting month-long celebration of Ghanaian culture this March, under the theme “Sustainability, Heritage, and Tourism – United in Diversity.” This initiative, held in collaboration with Asaase Inscriptions, aims to highlight Ghana’s rich cultural heritage while promoting sustainability and unity through diversity. As part of Heritage Month 2025, the event will focus on preserving traditions and fostering national pride.
Ghana is known for its deep historical roots and cultural traditions. She has long been a beacon of African heritage. Heritage Month 2025 which is March every year seeks to bring together various ethnic groups, cultural practitioners, and stakeholders in the tourism sector to honor and preserve the country’s diverse traditions.
The GMMB, as one of the custodians of Ghana’s historical and cultural assets, will play a central role in showcasing Ghana’s heritage through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and educational programs. With Asaase Inscriptions’ involvement, the event will also emphasize storytelling, literature, and the documentation of Ghana’s rich past.
Throughout Heritage Month 2025, numerous cultural events and activities will take place across the country, engaging locals and tourists alike. Some key highlights include:
Cultural Exhibitions: Museums and heritage sites across Ghana will host exhibitions featuring artifacts, traditional crafts, and historical records, providing insight into the country’s past and present.

Storytelling and Literary Sessions: Asaase Inscriptions will lead storytelling sessions featuring renowned Ghanaian authors, poets, and historians who will share folklore and historical narratives.
