Kenyan creatives have been complaining for years that they do not have a National Art Gallery such as the ones in Harare, Johannesburg, London and Washington, DC. Kenya has a National Museum, but it was designed to display fossils and dead birds before it took some interest in the arts.
The one resort where one can go to at least see the works of Kenyan and other visual artists is the Galleries, Art Centres, select restaurants and various hotels. Such places include galleries like One Off, Circle Art, Red Hill and Banana Hill, art centres like Brush tu Art Studio, Kuona Artists Collective, Kobo Trust, Paa ya Paa and Ngecha Art Centre (with the GoDown closing shop for renovations) and restaurants such as the Tamarind, Talisman, Que Pas and the Intercontinental Hotel.
