The Power of Gold: Asante Royal Regalia from Ghana


Dallas Museum of Art

Be dazzled by over 200 gleaming gold items of regalia, colorful and intricately woven silk kente cloth, ceremonial furniture, state swords, linguist staffs, and other significant objects related to Asante royals from the 19th through the 21st centuries. Founded around 1701 with wealth derived from the gold trade with North Africa and Europe, the Asante Kingdom was a very powerful polity in West Africa. The Power of Gold: Asante Royal Regalia from Ghana, inspired by works in the DMA’s collection and featuring objects from public and private collections, reveals the splendor of Asante regalia, much of which is made of gold. 

The Power of Gold: Asante Royal Regalia from Ghana will require a $16 ticket with discounts for seniors, students, and military. DMA Members and children 11 and under are free.
