The Palais de Lom√© is an art and culture centre whose motto is “reinventing natural and historical heritage to foster creative talents in Africa‚Äù.
Once a symbol of power, the former Palais des Gouverneurs and its adjoining Park have been restored and transformed to become the Palais de Lomé – a unique public space that celebrates Togolese rich and diverse cultures. The Palais de Lomé showcases the vitality and diversity of national and pan-African cultural works, ranging from sculpture and design to new media, across the various exhibition spaces and in the Park of the Palais. The 26-acre (11 hectares) park is a one-of-a-kind space, as Lomé is the only coastal capital in West Africa to boast such a large park in the city centre on the waterfront. Visitors will not only discover sculptures and artworks by African contemporary artists but also traditional use of plants (medicine, dye).
