Re: Nairobi Railway Museum: new gallery
This is obviously good news, but where is the money coming from. Not takings at the museum surely?i
On my vists to Nairobi i keep meaning to visit but time and traffic are always against it.

I get the sense that Kenya Railways is investing a bit into the museum, and the steam engines, in the hope of raising some revenue from them. You're right about the traffic - getting to the museum is awful.

Three weeks later, huge progress can be seen as the clean modern partitions are erected. There is already a tentative booking to use the building for a meeting in April, a potential source of revenue for the museum.
