Enjoyed the rich cultural heritage. The history displayed by the Murumbi's was intriguing.

It’s a nice touring destination for researchers and those interested in learning Kenya’s history. Membership is paid annually to gain full access of research materials. I was a bit disappointed as I wished to view Kenya’s first constitution but was notified it remains a government secret to-date though the original constitution 2010 is available on site but locked in a compartment.

The history of Kenya before and after colonization was very educational. Beautiful artifacts. It was a great visit.

It's very interesting for those who love history

Exquisite artifacts and historic papers from Kenya and Africa. Very much affordable for both domestic (sh50) and international tourists. No crowding.

A cool place for historical researchers

A perfect landmark for directions. Great prehistoric items.

If you love old stuff go visit this place! Really awesome vintage trains.

It's a perfect landmark anyone can get familiar with around the CBD, it's crowded and busy at the outside premises, but the inside is just cool and calm, I loved the reception in there, a lot of Kenyan history is preserved here, just excellent

A treasure house for Kenya's history. Everyone should try and visit.

great Place Many Kenyans Walking

Quite a fun place to visit.

So rich in history, a national treasure

Historical place with a lot of artefacts

Nice place to see things you probably haven't ever seen. Old trains. Well for me, I had never seen them in real life.

A visual artistic center for learning and exhibiting

I really love this place for the historical site of how we got to use the trains, the machines that were used, the people working there are amazing 👑

Nice👍🏽

Congested, insecure

This is a good place to know Kenya's history

Nice chill out

Nice site and place

Good

Awesome place

This is a historic building in the heart of Nairobi City. There is lots of information on the history and cultures of different tribes and important persons in Kenya. It is right across the road from the Hilton hotel in Nairobi. It is situated in between 2 busy streets in the CBD which are Tom |Mboya Street and Moi avenue. Accessibility to this place can at times be a pain considering the heavy CBD traffic of pedestrians as well as motor vehicles..

Nairobi's favorite CBD landmark, or at leat in the top three. I have interestingly never gone inside the actual Archives, but I recognise its importance for all of us who have to give directions and we're once given directions from this vital place. Hoping to visit the actual Archives soon though and not just wait for people outside it's gate. One of these fine days.

It is a great monument especially for those wanting to know town

Located at the junction of Tom mboya street and Accra road opposite Tuskeys supermarket

Great

Very busy Area. So congested and make sure to be very keen because of too much corn men there. Most events takes there and alot of Billboard advertising there bcz of that traffic of people there

Nice fancy place for your free time family

The place is very aesthetic and colorful. They let upcoming artists hold events and perform on spot art

A fantastic afternoon of learning the well detailed and kept history of the Kenyan railway system from the colonisers to current day; plus great old trains you can jump in & out of!

An fantastic place to experience the history of Kenya Railways.

The place is well labelled and the display is easy to follow

Nice place to experience the history of the Kenya Railways and British system

You will learn much about the Railway history in Kenya when it began in 1896 from Mombasa on the Kenya on the Indian Ocean to Kisumu on the eastern shore of Lake Victoria in 1901, the hardship and death that met the builders of the railway is well captured and documented in the museum —including that of the man-eating lions at Tsavo plains which claimed over 134 victims. Afterwards you can go explore the locomotives which are accessible including the cabins. You will also love the murals that all of the museum contributed mainly by local artists. This is a place I would recommend for a #date, #explorers and #photographers #photographysite

(Translated by Google) Interesting exhibits. (Original) Ciekawe eksponaty.

Situated in the heart of the "Lunatic Line", the Kenya Railway Museum is an integral part of East Africa and Kenya history.

Worth always a visit

Great memories

Very Historic

Fun for kids history lessons for many

Awesome experience

Nicee

One of the richest place to learn Kenyan history of the 18th and 19th century in regards to railway.

Interesting collection of railway artifacts.

Good place for those interested in the history of railways the in East Africa.located just adjacent to Nairobi railway station!(railways).it exhibits artifacts and old locomotive engines and wagonsfrom the former East African Railways. Both diesel engine and petrol engines. It's Abit hidden

Under upgrade, best place to visit

Closed though due to rona

(Translated by Google) Como (Original) Komo

The history, heritage, before colonialism, during colonialism and after colonialism is here!

I was there last year with a loved one,and it was a lovely experience.Only challenge was the high stair case of the trains,but it was worth it,and gallery inside was great.The big calculator(Ancient) was intresting.

Good place to be.

Some of the oldest trains ever. Very well preserved

It is a hidden gem right in the city. The smell of old engine oil can be smelt though faint. It takes you back to a time when life was simpler and the locomotive was the most advanced piece of technology. These great beasts that lay the foundation of colonisation. It only costs Kshs 150 for adults and kids over 12 years. Kids under 2 years entry is free.

Service was better than usual

Filled with all sorts of art and ancient train parts.For lovers of art,its an awesome place to chill out.

A lot of history on the city of Nairo I is hidden year! Come and discover

Peace

good

Rich history

Amazing memorabilia of an engineering feat. Thank you for us being able to see how the railway was built. It is a shame that the one small photograph of the man who made it possible, Ronald Preston, was hidden.

Takes you way back. Very well maintained. Amazing history with details on all that's displayed. Nice place to calm the mind. Child friendly too

Surely it's the home of lunatic

This best place to receive quality services

Very nice and cool

A good place to visit and get information about Kenyan independence history.

Was cool at least I didn't lost

Good place to visit historical venture

The place has a clean environment and favorable for both local and tourists

Its a busy place, but a good meeting point as its well known and easily accessible

Cool place for historians... artefacts that show life years back

Full of Hitorical Memories. Lucky to have preservations of our history.

I never went in but last I went there it has some nice historical artifacts.

Cool place jk road

Strategic point offering easy directions

Is so congested but the view is good

Great stop in Nairobi CBD just to learn about Kenya's history.

No parking rude taxis in the area

This Place is extremely vivid to visit. A tourist is welcomed by the statue of Thomas Mboya, the veteran who facilitated the student airlift Program for students to study abroad. Inside the Building, there are lots of wonderful history that one can learn from. However, I will not advise anyone to idle around the Statue, of course, there are so many idlers there, be cautious.

National Archives in Moi Avenue, apart from serving the purpose it was meant for, is an important landmark. When I first came to Nairobi, the National Archives would act as my compass bearing. I would walk around all I wanted but not to lose the sence of direction where this building stands. From it, I knew the stage where I was to board the bus, meet people or find important streets and avenues. I'm yet to enter inside of it but it is imposing from the outside.

Nice place to chill though it's crowded

Best place to meet someone in Nairobi as you go back the history of not only Kenyan culture but also Africa as a whole.

Sirrounding environment is too crowded ☹️

A good place to go down memory lane. And for those who dont know about the rich kenyan history, its a place you can go and enrich yourself. And if not mistaken its only 50 bob for kenyans. This is one of the most underrated places in the museums of kenya, don't know if its because its located in the busy Nairobi CBD.??

Busy bee pedestrians at the outside. Inside is full of History. Landmark.

Everyone. Meets here. Everyone knows here. Tell your relative from the countryside to wait for you here. They won't get lost 😂

So much history about our country kenya..people should be encouraged to visit. Photography is limited hence only managed the below pic

A very important landmark in the CBD

Archives still stands there, right next to Ambassador - looking ancient but well kept. One of the well-known landmarks of Nairobi. Inside, you'll find information running back to ages - priceless information and artifacts 💜

It's a national monument and it's a good place to learn about Kenya's history, but outside is a bus station hence making the place crowded. It's also not safe and one should be aware of scam artists

A good popular site for meeting,busy as it,may be dangerous because of tugs,a lot of beggars also will pass by disturbing and asking for money here and there. Just be watchful

Place is very accessible and safe. Nice collection, a place worth visiting

All good except this mad guy who keeps cleaning the tom mboya portrait and weirdo pastors

Lovely place, learnt alot

A place where foreigners can easily Navigate Nairobi from

Very insecure location to hang out. Many conment resude in this place.

A national Archieval documental centre with a great variety of historical artifacts, books,files and pictures. Highly recommended for persons with an interest in historical discoveries.

Gives a good perspective of Kenyan and, to an extent of African history. The artifacts are good however display is not asthetically showcased and lighting on artefacts is poor. Needs compete revamp.

Be ware of the thieves around, especially for those unfamiliar with the place. Don't idle for long alone there.

Tupatane archives. That's a normal thing to hear when walking along streets of Nairobi any day. It's the meeting point for most people and where newcomers to the city take their bearing from😅

Awesome place to even meet a visitor to Nairobi. Very common and conveniently located at the center of the city.

Amazing experience... learning about our history and cultures.

Kenya National Archives and is situated at the edge of the central business district in downtown Nairobi along Moi Avenue next to Ambassadeur Hotel. The archives look out on the landmark Hilton Hotel, while on the rear side is Tom Mboya street. It was established in 1965 in a building that initially housed the Kenya Commercial Bank. It holds 40,000 volumes. It was established by an Act of the Parliament of Kenya in 1965 and was placed under the office of the Vice President and the Minister of Home Affairs. It is currently under the office of the Vice-President and State Department for National Heritage and Culture. The Kenya National Archives building also houses the Murumbi Gallery which contains African artifacts that were collected in the 19th century

It's a best place to be if you want to know more about traditional facts

Smaller than the National Museum butalso gives you a good understanding of Kenyan culture but also has artefacts from other African countries like Nigeria, Congo, Ghana, Ethiopia etc.

It was deeply enlightening to know Kenya's history and the sheer art talent our ancestors had,simply mesmerizing.

Best place to go if you want to learn about the Kenyan culture and it's journey to independence.

The National Archives is located in the Central Business District (CBD) of Nairobi City along Moi Avenue, opposite The Hilton Hotel. Outside the Archives is a beehive of activities. The building is also an Archive with old unique and admirable architectural designs from the door to outside. The rich History of Kenya and other African countries is found here in form of artifact, literature and one to one narration by the staff who also take you through explaining about the collected items in detail and from which country the item originates from. We were also shown the library where you can read and research. Massive knowledge hub especially on our country Kenya. The history begins from colonial era to date. A very educative place and also interesting to just visit, as native or tourist. We enjoyed the visit.

Payment process is cumbersome visitors have to pay via eCitizen. Some of the collections are dusty not properly maintained. But it's Kes 50 entrance fee so can't complain much. It's worthwhile if idle.

It is historical and a huge landmark here in Nairobi Kenya it is right in the heart of the capital city the national archives is where a lot of Kenyan history is stored it is managed by the nation museums the records are well kept and you will find someone to assist you with the needs and references you might need there is a lot of human traffic and it's open from Monday to Friday 8am -5pm but closed over the weekends and on public holidays
