They have their own king, flag and history. Kumasi is their capital. The museum actually is a small structure with a patio and around it four open spaces in which royal artefacts and historical items and pictures are on display. Among those, the famous fake Golden Stool, which was given to the British who for decades believed it to be the real one. The Asante managed to keep the real Golden Stool, the ultimate Asante symbol, to themselves, thus ensuring their pride and survival as a people. The Golden Stool is so sacred, the King is not allowed to sit on it. Neither should the Stool ever touch the ground. After the museum (where unfortunately photographing was not allowed) I went in search of the Anokye Sword. This is the second most powerful symbol of the Asante people.
