Routes of the Kola Nut

Respond to questions and prompts about the kola nut, food and heritage within this open space, where your stories and reflections will contribute to an interactive display. There will be comfortable seating, live music and West African snacks available.

Unleash your creativity in this linocut workshop with our Youth Panel. You can create your own unique print of a Bese Saka, or “sack of kola nuts”, while learning about this Ghanaian symbol of power, abundance and togetherness.

Embark on a guided tour of the thought-provoking 'The Kola Nut Cannot Be Contained' display in Gallery 3, expertly led by our Youth Panel in collaboration with the Visitor Experience team.
