This article discusses how the Institute of African Studies mounted a community-based exhibition drawing on indigenous knowledge and narratives of culture contact and influence, with the hope that this, and similar exhibitions in Ghana, would help to develop a museum culture in local communities. The article also addresses the methods and procedures used in developing the content of the local exhibition, including consultations with leaders of Sekondi and neighboring areas
