Rabai Museum, Mombasa Overview
The Rabai Museum is located inside Kenya’s first Christian church, the Rabai Church, situated northwest of Mombasa in Rabai. It displays exhibits about the history of Christianity, archives on the Slave Trade, and artefacts related to the Mijikenda peoples, such as traditional clothing, tools used to prepare food and regalia.
The Rabai Museum primarily focuses on the work of German missionary Johann Ludwig Krapf (who built the church) and the contribution of other missionaries over the past 150 years. One would also find the first translation of the Christian Bible in Swahili and different local dialects here, along with beautiful pottery done by the locals. The church was also used as a rescue centre for slaves. Outside the church is one of the first classrooms built in the country to disseminate Christianity.
