Kente Cloth Museum

"Kente" is a colorful Ghanaian traditional fabric which is worn mostly on important occasions and celebrations. A trip to Bonwire in the Ashanti region, would teach one the story behind "Kente", one of Ghana’s most revered fabrics and also how it is made. Bonwire is a town in Ejisu-Juaben Municipal district in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. 

It is the home of the Akan "Kente" cloth. Located 18km on the Kumasi-Mampong Road, Bonwire is popular worldwide for "Kente" weaving. "Kente" was developed around 17th Century A.D by the people of Ashanti Kingdom and can be traced to the long tradition of weaving in Africa dating back to circa 3000 BC. 


The origin of Kente according to Joe, the tour guide is that, it is grounded in both legends and history. For the legend, two hunters named Ameyaw and Kuragu had their weaving lessons from a spider that was weaving its web. They tried to do same by weaving a beautiful fabric.
