My Ivorian friend brought me to Grand Bassem on a recent visit to Abidjan for an event. As we rode through the town, it appeared as if we rolled back in time. When we arrived at the building the museum looked like those colonial buildings you'd see in documentaries... whitewashed with expertly-manicured lawns. The building showed obvious signs of aging and there were no other visitors there. There were many stories about tradition, hierarchy and roles that elders held in ancient societies. The customs were very interesting because they represent specific ethnic groups, status, wisdom, marital status. The Akan exhibit was interesting because of the "Royal Hammock" from which the king would lie. It resembled a coffin to remind the king he had to be a just leader or else... There were small things in the outfits like the caps. In one instance, you could only wear the cap if you had reached a certain level of wisdom. Reminds me of the mortar board worn for graduates. All in all, it was a very interesting exhibit. I went to the souvenir shop next door and bought jewelry from three vendors including one man who was albino. Very nice gentleman. I would recommend it. There is a carpet factory down the street that is also very good.

The House Ganamet bore me and I played indoors with childhood friends. And yet, this House is built from colonial times and continues to illuminate this village does Zima of France district. Ganamet is built by the major settlers Masons. And if Ganamet could be restored in all its splendour of yesteryear?
