Nairobi Gallery
A former colonial-era government building from 1913, now a gallery at Kilometre Zero, showcasing traditional and contemporary African art.
The building dates to 1913 and was once the colonial-era Native Affairs Office, nicknamed the 'Old PC Office.' It stands by the Kilometre Zero marker, from which all distances on Kenya's roads are measured. It is now run by the National Museums of Kenya. The permanent collection includes traditional African ornaments and weapons donated by Joseph Murray, and rotating exhibitions showcase contemporary Kenyan art. The gallery is small, and 30–45 minutes is enough to see it. It is open roughly 08:30–17:30, and admission is a few hundred shillings.
