Gallery 1957 has been a great place to visit even after having been there twice , I'm still amazed as if it was love at first sight. Where to start from, the location ? Yes. Well located in the beautiful kempinski hotel,there are so many levels of art/crafts you may found during your visit , we even got overwhelmed of pleasure by them. Well preserved, cleanliness on point and on top of that , it is totally free of charges. for such incredible place it is very magical and kudos to the management team and staff behind that. I am very appreciative and lucky to have visit and why not continue to visit such a great place. I did add it to my favourite activities to do whilst in Accra.

I can comfortably give this gallery a 5 star rating because of all the galleries I have visited in Ghana, it tops all. In terms of experience, environment, ambience, art pieces, creative direction, and architecture, this place is just spectacular. Both galleries are breathtaking and it invites you to explore art in a way you have never before. The story that is told through the art direction is very engaging and it immensely takes you away to explore a world of creativity. I enjoyed every inch of this amazing gallery and I would recommend anyone who enjoys art to definitely visit this gallery. I promise on my experience that you will enjoy yours.

Walked in with 12 children this afternoon and attendants were not child-friendly; though we didn’t ‘book’ in advance. We passed through on our way back to Tema from the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. We went in anyway. Current artworks on display are a bit of ‘adult content’, depicting romantic scenes so it would be good to confirm what’s on display before walking in, especially when with children.

One of the most popular Art gallery open to public in Ghana. Unfortunately during my visit only a limited number of art were on display. The display area wasn’t as huge as I anticipated given the two others were being remodeled. But definitely a beautiful place to visit. Don’t forget to scan the QR codes at the entrances for more details on the artist.

I come them from time to time with my friends, and I always find it refreshing that pieces are cycled out and unique to one another. It’s quite nice that some pieces have QR-coded (or physical) press releases as it can make you really understand the work that may have gone into an installation. I would recommend this gallery if you’re in the Ridge area.

Very beautiful gallery. Brilliant exhibition. When I visited, Famakan Magassa’s Money Money Money was on. Absolutely loved it. There are more paintings and artworks to see on the third floor, there’s an elevator and escalator. Definitely one of my favorite art galleries in Accra.
