Situated at the end of the famed Charles-de-Gaulle Avenue, and facing the pediatric hospital in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, stands the Musée National Du Burkina Faso. This grand institution, established on an expansive 29-hectare site, is a beacon of Burkinabé heritage and identity. The museum's primary mission is to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the pivotal events, experiences, and figures that have shaped Burkina Faso's history and identity, while also fostering awareness of global history and diverse cultures.
Monuments des Martyrs, located in the city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, is also known as the Monument to National Heroes. Certainly, it is one of the single most bizarre edifice, but in the same time it is an alluring building that catches your glance. Some people would say this is a glass made Eiffel tower, but definitely, except for being marvelous it misses the height of the Eiffel tower. The Monument was a grand project of the President of Burkina Faso since 1987, not glorifying just the revolution from which “their brothers” were killed, but also the revolution that brought him to power.
The park is a gem of nature. Many bird species, including African green parrot, African hornbill, and the critically endangered hooded vulture. Wonderful trails for walking or bike riding.
