Nairobi National Museum has the greatest collection of early human fossils, nowhere else to be found in the world.

It is the flagship museum for the National Museums of Kenya, housing celebrated collections of Kenya’s History, Nature, Culture and Contemporary Art.

The displays include primitive artifacts revealed by the Leakey’s, over 900 stuffed birds and animals, fossils from Lake Turkana, ethnic displays from various Kenyan tribal groups as well as local artistic exhibits.

In 2005 the museum closed for the public and reopened in June 2008, after a extensive modernization and expansion which resulted in a magnificient piece of Architecture that puts the museum in competition with other world- class museums.

The artworks and materials used in the fabrication of outdoor sculptures, the landscaping and the botanic gardens, link to the four pillars of Kenya’s national heritage (Nature, Culture, History and Contemporary Art).
