The King of Eswatini, King Mswati III, his wife, and his entourage were given a guided tour of the Manhyia Palace Museum in Kumasi as part of their visit to Ghana.
The tour, which took place on June 25, 2025, offered the Eswatini monarch an up-close look at the cultural and historical treasures of the Asante Kingdom.
In a video shared on social media, King Mswati III was seen walking through the museum, engaged as a museum guide, clad in traditional Kente cloth, explaining the meanings and origins behind various artefacts and symbols that tell the story of the Asante people.
One of the standout moments of the tour was an explanation of the talking drums, a communication tool in the Asante Kingdom. "The talking drums, these drums, anytime they are beaten, they convey messages from the king to the people," the guide said.
