Nairobi as a county according to the new constitution is unique but this uniqueness can not be seen only on the street.That is why the Nairobi Gallery is there to give you the beauty of Nairobi in an artistic way.

I had never visited before, but as a long-term Nairobi resident I will definitely return. The art collection is comprehensive and well arranged and the colonial era building is also interesting. Guides are available or you are free to explore the rooms alone. The building is one story so should be wheelchair accessible. Free car parking is available on site and a coffee shop is due to open soon.

I loved seeing the different tribal wear on display. And it was great seeing works from local artists.

A really great collection of art, with writings explaining their origin or what is on display. Though I wish we had a guide to explain and take us round. They were around but seemed disinterested.

Went here with a friend and her chiildren. Some interesting pieces displayed but in my opinion nothing special unless you love art. Just like any other gallery.

i suprised my man with a detour during lunch break, its very well organized and easily accessible as it is in the CBD, the murumbi collections are a sight to see, its amazing how murumbi was able to collect all those artifacts from different parts of the country, i got to learn more about our beautiful country.

Well worth a visit just for the building but I did not spend long there as I am not into art!.It does show many pieces of Art from the country side and is rather large. There is a fee which is quite reasonable.

We were directed here by Alan Donovan of African Heritage House outside the city. The downtown collection is extensive, well organized and laid out, and very well explained. Begin, however, at Alan's home--book lunch (or wine) on the room terrace and be guided through his collection with the insight only he can provide. Then ask Alan to set up your tour of both the archives and gallery downtown--your experience will be five rather than four stars and you will truly learn to appreciate the diversity of African craft and art.

Historical sight in the centre of Nairobi. Little bit difficult to find because Nairobi Gallery is not mentioned on the map. Look for Old PC building corner Uhuru Highway/Kenyatta Avenue.Our friendly and professional guide Xmos gave a very good and interesting explanation about history, traditional and modern art in Kenya and other African countries.

Spent 4 hours at the gallery checking out the artefacts in the Murumbi gallery. The museum guide was quite helpful and informative. There are several rooms in this house that detail Murumbi's life. They have not put the stamps on show but there are many other artefacts that are original. The cloths from around Africa are really beautiful, the model of his living room and his collections are quite interesting. There is a collection of old original books, coins, beads and even tribal weapons. Very interesting gallery.
