Lonely Planet review

Kenya's National Museum is an imposing building amid lush leafy grounds just outside the city centre. It has a good range of cultural, geological and natural-history exhibits. Volunteer guides offer tours in English, Dutch and French. The 1st floor contains excellent contemporary East African art; as all the items are for sale the displays change regularly.

While the museum renovations were due to be completed in 2007, temporary exhibitions are on show at other locations in Nairobi and the recreated Kikuyu homestead and a snake park in the museum's grounds are still open.
