The National Museum of Guinea, cultural emblem of the country, is currently experiencing a real revolution. Under the leadership of the transitional authorities, the museum is being completely renovated in order to offer visitors an enriched and modern experience.
The work is underway and progressing quickly. The director of the museum, Hamza Kaba, welcomes this new era for the institution. The exhibition hall, which was in dire need of renovation, will be expanded and modernized. The roof, which was failing, had to be completely removed, making it possible to envisage an exhibition room three times larger than the old one.
But the changes don’t stop there. The National Museum of Guinea is also preparing to enter the digital age. In partnership with the French company Archéovision, the museum is undertaking the digitization of its works. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, visitors will soon have the opportunity to discover the museum’s collections online, in a virtual museum. This approach will also allow researchers and scientists to study the parts without having to move them, thus preserving their integrity and security.
The digitization of works represents a major step forward for the promotion of Guinean culture. It will offer the opportunity to showcase the country’s treasures and share them with the whole world. In addition, this will pave the way for the restitution of Guinean works which are currently in foreign museums, mainly in France.
This ambitious renovation and digitization approach demonstrates the desire of the Guinean authorities to restore all its splendor and influence to the National Museum of Guinea. By rehabilitating the infrastructure, expanding the exhibition spaces and offering an immersive digital experience, the museum will become a mecca for Guinean culture, attracting visitors from around the world and contributing to the promotion of the country’s cultural heritage.
The renovation and digitization of the National Museum of Guinea are exciting projects that will preserve and promote the country’s rich cultural heritage. By providing visitors with a modern and immersive experience, the museum is firmly part of the digital age while preserving the authenticity and artistic value of the works. A new era is dawning for the National Museum of Guinea, making it a true temple of Guinean culture.
