Let’s be clear. National Museums of Kenya is not an art institution. It’s wishful thinking to imagine that it is. That is why my ears perked up when a discussion started recently about Kenya needing a Museum of Art, which the country does.
But for the time being, a Kenyan art museum is still just talk. We can thus be grateful for the Nairobi National Museum where Kenyan artists’ works are not only found upstairs in the Creativity Gallery where the group exhibition of paintings and sculptures entitled ‘Glad Tidings’ has been extended through the end of the month.
