Cameroon museums: The language of symbols for cosmo-architecture

The Route des Chefferies is a program in Cameroon that focuses on safeguarding and promoting heritage for over twenty years. It aims to restore and create spaces that promote the heritage of populations, chiefdoms, and the region as a whole. The program has led to the nomination of several traditional buildings to the World Heritage list with UNESCO. The contemporary architecture of the museums and heritage huts is inspired by the traditional aspects of the Grassfields, contributing to the scenographic development of the territory. The Museum of Civilizations is an interpretation center of Cameroonian civilizations, open to the public since 2010. It features a nautical base, beach volleyball court, playground, craft center, and a Garden of Civilizations. The Royal Museum of Foumban combines tradition and modernity, featuring the coat of arms of the Bamoun Sultanate. The Bamendjinda community museum highlights the specificities of the Bamendjinda chiefdom under the theme "Arts-Tradition and Slavery."
