The Nairobi National Museum is Kenya’s flagship museum, a rich introduction to the country’s nature, culture and history. Its galleries display an outstanding collection of prehistoric fossils and early human remains from the Rift Valley, alongside wildlife, birds, tribal artefacts and contemporary Kenyan art. Set in pleasant grounds with botanical gardens and a snake park, it offers a fascinating overview of Kenya’s natural and cultural heritage and makes an excellent, educational counterpoint to the city’s wildlife and nightlife attractions.
