🇬🇭 Welcome to Ghana! This model was designed by Dany Sánchez. The Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum is dedicated to the prominent Ghanaian President. The memorial complex was completed in 1992,  situated in a 5 acre park in Accra, capital of Ghana, in west Africa. The mausoleum, designed by Don Arthur, houses the bodies of Kwame Nkrumah and his wife Fathia Nkrumah. It is located in the spot where Nkrumah made the declaration of Ghana's independence. The building is meant to represent an upside down sword, which in Akan culture is a symbol of peace. The mausoleum is clad from top to bottom with Italian marble, with a black star at its apex to symbolize unity. The interior boasts marble flooring and a mini mastaba looking marble grave marker, surrounded by river-washed rocks. A skylight at the top in the mausoleum illuminates the grave. The mausoleum is surrounded by water, a symbol of life (from Wikipedia). MiniWorld 3D is happy to bring this historical model to life as a homage to all the people of Ghana.
