About

Probably the smallest museum by surface area, but it teems with history including the first formal school in East Africa built by the Church Missionary Society. The cradle of Christianity and modern learning in Kenya started over 150 years ago by Dr. Krapf and others. The museum itself is very small despite the rich Rabai history.
