Kenya's Journey to Independence and the Making of a Sovereign Nation.
Relive the mood of the nation during its most transformative decade, from 1952 to the early years of self-rule. This gallery captures the electricity of liberation, featuring the original instruments of sovereignty, the national flag, the ceremonial sword, and the first Great Seal of Kenya.
From the strategic brilliance of the Mau Mau movement to the historic 1963 elections, the collection documents the formal birth of Kenya's Parliament, Judiciary, and Cabinet. Each artefact and image speaks to a moment when a people's determination was translated into the architecture of a nation.
The gallery preserves the atmosphere of the independence celebrations held at Uhuru Gardens on 12 December 1963, the midnight lowering of the Union Jack, the raising of the new flag, and the beginning of a sovereign chapter in Kenya's history.
