Asantehene, wife visit Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and his wife, Lady Julia Osei Tutu, embarked on a visit to the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. on August 31, 2026. The royal duo were warmly welcomed by Steve and Jackie Green, founders of the Museum of the Bible. Their visit allowed Otumfuo and Lady Julia to tour the facility and delve into its exhibitions, which focus on the history, narrative, and global influence of the Bible.

Established in 2017, the Museum of the Bible is a prominent cultural and educational institution in Washington, D.C., dedicated to unraveling the Bible’s historical context, preservation, and worldwide impact.

The museum's expansion stemmed from the Green family’s vast collection of biblical manuscripts and artifacts. This visit is a part of the Asantehene's broader itinerary during his stay in the United States, where he has been engaging with various institutions and members of the Ghanaian community. Key highlights of his trip include interaction with the Ghanaian community and the Akwasidae celebration, which showcased elements of Asante culture and tradition to the Ghanaian diaspora.

Otumfuo is also scheduled to deliver a lecture at Howard University, and his itinerary includes discussions with business and institutional stakeholders, highlighting his ongoing engagements on matters pertaining to Ghana's development, culture, education, and international relations.
