Nairobi National Museum

Kenya's flagship museum โ€” culture, art and the cradle of humanity.

The Nairobi National Museum, just off Museum Hill, is Kenya’s flagship cultural institution. Inside you’ll find the famous Hominid Skull Room with original fossils from Lake Turkana, vast galleries of Kenyan art, ethnography and natural history, plus the Snake Park and shaded Nature Trail.

Often combined with a visit to the Karen Blixen Museum, the Giraffe Centre or the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage.
