Nairobi Gallery

The Nairobi Gallery is a historic art and culture museum located in the heart of Nairobi, right at the intersection of Kenyatta Avenue and Uhuru Highway. Housed in a beautiful old building known as the "Hatches, Matches, and Dispatches" building, it was once used as a registry for births, marriages, and deaths during the colonial era. Today, it showcases an impressive collection of African art, artifacts, and exhibits, including the famous Murumbi Collection—a treasure trove of African heritage assembled by Kenya’s second Vice President, Joseph Murumbi.Visitors can explore unique artworks, sculptures, and historical items that celebrate African culture and creativity. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just curious about African history, the Nairobi Gallery offers a fascinating look into the continent’s past and its cultural diversity.
