Tucked in the heart of Accra is a landmark that redefines Ghana’s relationship with innovation, luxury, and automotive history—the Despite Automobile Museum. Commissioned by His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on June 1, 2025, this museum is more than a showroom—it’s a celebration of dreams, engineering excellence, and Ghanaian ambition.
Founded by renowned entrepreneur Dr. Osei Kwame Despite, the museum showcases his private collection of vintage, classic, and luxury automobiles—now revealed to the public for the very first time. Decades in the making, this remarkable collection transforms personal passion into national pride.
Guided by the slogan, “More Than a Museum. A Mission in Motion,” the Despite Auto Museum seeks to do more than display fine automobiles. Its core mission is to inspire Ghanaians—especially the youth—by demonstrating that world-class innovation and storytelling can be homegrown.
Each vehicle tells a story, taking visitors on a journey through automotive evolution—from the grace of early models to the raw power of modern supercars. But beyond the metal and motors, it’s about vision and legacy.
- Private Collection, Public Inspiration: Rare, historic cars—many never before seen in Ghana—are now accessible to all.
- Ghana-Made, World-Class: Built in Ghana with global standards in mind, the museum rivals leading car museums in Europe, Asia, and America.
- Engineering Meets Art: Every exhibit is a curated fusion of design, storytelling, and cultural identity.
From humble beginnings to a symbol of excellence, Dr. Despite’s journey reflects determination and innovation. This museum is a gift to the nation—a space for families, students, tourists, and car lovers to connect, learn, and dream.
Whether it’s glossy European models, rugged American machines, or futuristic concept cars, there’s something for everyone. It’s more than admiration—it’s education, inspiration, and pride.
