Though the museum's collection hasn't been updated very recently, there is still a lot to take in at this large and diverse museum. The ethnographic collection containing clothing and ritual items from various ethnic groups in Kenya was very interesting. The history of Kenya exhibit provides a good summary of events since the onset of British colonization (though has little to say about civilization pre-European contact...and read the displays with a critical eye, looking out for bias). I'm no bird specialist but the birds of East Africa collection struck me by its size. A highlight for me was the human history collection, which isn't so extensive but highlights fossils from the key anthropological discoveries made in Kenya.The snake park is not huge but allows you to get pretty close to the snakes - there were dozens just hanging out in the open pit at the entrance. Several of the more lethal species are behind glass. I also saw two Nile crocodiles and an oddly placed American alligator, which I guess was cool, though they looked a bit sad trapped behind their fences. Overall, I'd recommend buying the combo ticket to visit both the museum and the snake park.
Excellent Collection and also the Prehistoric life depiction. Over all good ambience and staff and quite a lot of findings from the archeological sites have been well preserved. also very good wild life - Birds, animals and then the best part is the Rail Road and then the Progress in the economical status.
Had an wonderful experience to this great and vast museum. A must visit place and helpful guide will explain everything in details. This place doesn't only talk about Africa, rather it's large collection of skulls and fossils provide a rare insight of start of the human civilization.
Lots of taxidermy showing the animals of east Africa. Also good exhibits on the beginning of man; nice diorama of the different stages of man
了解到了很多关于肯尼亚以及肯尼亚人民的知识。这是一个非常不错的消磨午后时光的地方,然后在花园里散散步,感觉也很不错。推荐你在旅行时来这里看看。
这是我至今为止在亚撒哈拉非洲地区见过的最好的博物馆了。早期的人类化石展出很惊艳,鸟类收藏也不错。长了很多知识,赞一个!
一定要去感受一下这个地方的风土人情。我很喜欢有关地铁的老照片和蛇馆。花费大概是1200先令(93元人民币)。全天开放。
Everything is basically the same since 1990's they renovated the whole place but nothing new there, the snake park is the size of a standard house has a lot of glasses without creatures, nothing interesting, they have increase the entrance fee but the place is all the same boring stuff, the restaurants are okay, you would enjoy sitting in the restaurants than wasting your money inside the Museum and Snake Park!!
For any traveller who want to breeze, learn about plants and birds this is the place to stop over while you are on safari. It gives you peace of mind without spending a penny.One of the cleanest and colourful public park in Kenya thanks to the National Museum of Kenya for keeping it cool
I really could have spent longer here, particularly in the exhibition on the history of Nairobi. However, I was struck by the bias that was in the accounts written for the display... however, this is Kenya and a pinch of salt should be taken at all times
