Nairobi Gallery, Nairobi Overview
The Nairobi Gallery, on Kenyatta Avenue, occupies the former Provincial Commissioner's office, a National Monument built in the early 20th century. It marks Kenya's official Point Zero, the spot from which all road distances across the country are measured. Inside, the Murumbi Collection houses African jewellery, textiles, and artwork once owned by Kenya's former vice president.
The building is divided into six main rooms that house different temporary exhibitions and the main Murumbi African Heritage Collection. The Murumbi Collection in the Joseph and Sheila Murumbi Room features items the former vice president Joseph Murumbi and his family used, including furniture, posters, a cupboard, etc. In addition, there are stamps from all over Africa, African jewellery that is mainly part of the Turkana culture, traditional weapons, tools, calabashes, textiles like kangas, headdresses and more at the gallery. It is also home to numerous sculptures and paintings by artists like Bruce Onokbrakpeya, Asiru Olatunde Osogbo, Theresa Musoke and Rosemary Karuga.
