LOCATIONS EXPERIENCED
CITY CENTER
The city center's biggest attractions are its markets, both the Grand Marché with a large 3-storey hall, and the smaller and more specialized Fetish Market (voodoo). The Palais du Congrès houses the Togo National Museum, containing traditional jewellery, musical instruments, dolls, pottery and weapons.
MUSEE INTERNATIONAL DU GOLFE DE GUINEE (MUSEE INTERNATIONAL D'ART D'AFRIQUE - MIAA)
The Musée International du Golfe de Guinée is one of Lomé’s best but little-known museums, housed in a small bungalow. It parades a private but wide collection of African sculpture from the last 200 years. Prominent among the artworks are those that originated from Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo and Ghana. There are also pieces from East and Southern Africa. It is now called Musée International d'Art d'Afrique (MIAA).
