Malindi Museum

I really enjoyed visiting the Museum. It was fascinating learning about the different coastal cultures and their history — it gave great insight into the heritage and way of life along the coast. The exhibits were interesting and informative, and I found myself wishing there were even more stories and details to explore. Overall, I loved the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in culture and history.

It’s a beautiful place really chill and peaceful atmosphere, quite dull actually with the historical artefacts around in the museum. It is really quiet and peaceful, best for historians that enjoy chill vibes and young kids to nurture their curiosity. I would recommend to visit this museum when go to Malindi. Only downside is that it doesn’t have much artefacts compared to other museums in Kenya. It even has a historical monument that not many people know about, worth the visit.

The Kenyan Coast is steeped in rich history, deeply intertwined with the nation’s journey to independence. A visit to the National Museums of Kenya in Malindi offers a captivating window into this past, bringing to life the stories of faith, culture, resistance, and the freedom struggle. Through well-curated exhibits and detailed narratives, visitors gain a deeper understanding of the people, movements, and events that shaped Kenya’s identity. It is an enlightening experience that connects the past to the present and leaves one with a profound appreciation of our national heritage.

The place has many exhibitions on the mijikenda tribes. I loved that they have a wall on popular Kenyan archaeologist and there achievements. The tickets give allows you entry to Vasco da Gama pillar, Portuguese church and the Museum.

A historical experience about the origins of Malindi, it's diverse background and its present

Nice little museum. Lots of information about culture, history, daily life and kangas. Worth a visit. However the displays are in bad need of cleaning. Glasses were dirty.

Nice place to learn history of coast region including its people, culture and commercial activities, well illustrated using photos with wording.The place was not crowded and is literally next to downtown
