National Museums of Kenya

Illustration by Charity Atukunda, 2023.
The National Museums of Kenya bring together many organizations that combine a considerable number of exhibitions, from art to natural history and ethnological museums.
National Museums of Kenya hosted an exhibition which dealt with the recent history of elections marred with chaos, violence and loss of life. The exhibition intended to create a platform for discourse on these pressing matters that have previously been seen to be discordant as well as to preach good democratic process.
