The palace has a fascinating museum providing historical insight into the region and the Bamoun dynasty. The diversity of the objects featured in the museum is remarkable; it includes among other handmade furniture, paintings, pictures, statues, manuscripts, masks, and royal clothes. We had a memorable experience visiting the palace with a senior guide who gave us so much information. For more pictures check out my Instagram (IG: kelledstyle), thanks :-)
