You’ll find a little bit of everything about Kenya at this museum. Housed in the old Bank of India building, the National Archives spotlights Kenyan tribal culture, as well as the country’s art, history, and politics.
Paintings and artifacts from the collection of Joseph Murumbi, one of Africa’s most famous collectors, dominate the exhibits. The main floor gallery displays historical documents and a collection of photographs.
The second-floor houses more art, a display of postage stamps, and the National Archives reading room, which is used for personal and professional projects.
Along with the Nairobi National Museum, this is one of the top places to visit in Nairobi on a budget, and it will broaden your understanding of Kenya’s rich history and culture.
