Lunch is served at a nearby restaurant before returning to Accra for an afternoon of art and creativity. In the capital, stop by the Artist Alliance Gallery, located by the coast. The space showcases a wide range of work including painting, sculpture, textiles, furniture, and photography—offering a strong blend of both traditional and modern expression from across Ghana and neighboring regions. The day continues with a visit to the “Fantasy Coffins” workshop in Teshie Nungua. These handcrafted coffins, shaped to reflect a person’s life or profession, represent a unique aspect of local funeral traditions. Designs range from animals and vehicles to everyday objects. Meet the makers and learn more about this remarkable art form before returning to the hotel for an evening at your leisure.
