GMMB Partners with Dusu Studios to Bring Virtual Reality into Ghana’s Museums
Embracing the Future: Virtual Reality Arrives at the Museum of Science and Technology
The landscape of historical and scientific education in Ghana is stepping into a new dimension. In an exciting move towards digital transformation, the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB) has officially received a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality (VR) headset, generously donated by T.J. Dusu of Dusu Studios to the Museum of Science and Technology (MST) in Accra.
The official presentation ceremony brought together key leadership from the national heritage sector. The handover was attended by the Executive Director of GMMB, Mr Kwesi Essel Blankson, alongside the Head of the Museum of Science and Technology, Madam Akosua Saah Buckman, and prominent members of the GMMB management team.
Breaking the Boundaries of Traditional Learning
This donation marks a significant milestone in GMMB’s strategy to modernise how the public interacts with national collections. Rather than observing exhibits from behind protective barriers or inside glass cases, immersive tools like VR offer visitors a chance to step directly inside scientific concepts and historic eras.
For the Museum of Science and Technology an institution built to inspire curiosity and showcase innovationintegrating VR means opening up entirely new pathways for visitor engagement. Young learners, researchers, and tourists will soon be able to discover knowledge through multi-sensory experiences, interacting with complex engineering models or biological systems in fully interactive virtual environments.
A Collaborative Drive for Innovation
Management at GMMB expressed their sincere gratitude to T.J. Dusu and Dusu Studios for their forward-thinking contribution. This partnership highlights the crucial role that local creative tech studios play in revitalising public educational institutions. Looking ahead, GMMB is actively exploring ways to scale these innovative approaches, incorporating immersive digital technology directly into its core educational modules and public engagement activities across the country.
As the boundaries between technology and culture continue to blur, the Museum of Science and Technology is positioning itself at the very forefront of this evolution in Ghana. By pairing centuries of heritage with tomorrow’s technology, the museum is ensuring that the spirit of discovery remains accessible, engaging, and deeply relevant for generations to come.
Preserving our heritage. Embracing innovation. Inspiring discovery.
