The collection of skull fragments that were found in Kenya is the finest sample of humanoid origins on the planet. The explanatory exhibit is a little less well organized. The cultural artfacts are impressive. Overall the museum could use an update. The cafe is very...More

The exhibition is mostly presented in quite a boring, old-fashioned way. Our guide could not tell us anything more than what was written on the signs. Apart from a vast collection of Kenya's birds and other wild animals, the most interesting part is about Kenya's...More
