The museums of Bandjoun and Baham (West Cameroon), Babungo and Mankon (North-West Cameroon) have been created as part of the project “Training, protection of the artistic-cultural heritage and development in Cameroon” by the Italian NGO COE, Centro Orientamento Educativo, and co-financed by the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Italian Bishops’ Conference and by COE, with the participation of the local communities.

The museums are located in the highlands of the West and North-West of Cameroon (Grassland or Grassfield), one of the most important homes of African civilisations south of the Sahara.

The project is aimed at stimulating the dynamics of cultural and economic development in the areas directly concerned and in general in the country through the protection of an important resource in this territory: the objects that materialise and make visible the symbols of religiousness and power, documents of the culture and history of different peoples and their political and social organisation.

The heritage of the communities is protected and given its correct value in the place where it lives: the objects leave the museum whenever their ritual and symbolic role is required by tradition and then they are returned to the museum where their preservation is assured.

Each museum offers an “itinerary of the collective memory” which guides visitors in the territory to discover the places of history, legend and myth, in a dimension of encounter and exchange which enriches the experience of the visit.

Le musée national des antiquités est le plus ancien musée d’Algérie. Son contenu historique et archéologique témoigne que la terre d’Algérie est sans doute l’une des plus riches du bassin de la méditerranée. Il représente toutes les périodes et tous les détails de l’existence du pays depuis ses origines les plus reculées jusqu’à nos jours.
L’idée de la construction d’un musée pour les collections antiques revenait à Mr Berbrugger premier conservateur,en 1838, dont il leur réserva une pièce spéciale dans la caserne des janissaires, rue Bab-Azoun et l’annexer à la  bibliothèque qui ouvrit ses portes en1835. En 1845 il obtint une dizaine de chambres au Palais de la Djenina.Les objets furent transférés et exposés ensuite  en 1848 dans des pièces voûtées, du bas d’une maison mauresque qui fut démolie en 1862, lors des travaux de fortifications.En 1863, le Musée  est installé dans le Palais de Mustapha Pacha, rue de l’Etat Major (le musée occupe le rez-de-chaussée et l’une des salles du second étage, le premier étage est réservé à la Bibliothèque).En 1896, des épaves d’une exposition permanente d’objets d’art musulmans furent jointes aux collections d’art antique et émigrèrent sur les hauteurs de Mustapha, dans un bâtiment construit à cet effet dans un jardin botanique nommé le parc de la liberté inauguré le 19 avril 1897. Des salles nouvelles furent adjointes au noyau primitif, et grâce au savant Stéphane Gsell elles ne tardèrent pas à se meubler. Le musée s’enrichit notamment par l’acquisition de la collection Ben Aben à la suite d’une exposition organisée à Alger en 1905.
Les collections d’art islamique ont été transférées et réexposées dans un nouveau  bâtiment  inauguré à l’occasion de la journée mondiale des des musées le18 mai 2003.
