UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
Turkana Tools: The Dawn of Technology
National Museums of Kenya in joint collaboration with the French Embassy, Nairobi is presenting an exhibition that is as a result of 25 years of collaboration between the French Mission Préhistorique au Kenya (MPK) and the National Museums of Kenya (NMK) who, working together as the West Turkana Archaeological Project (WTAP), have made critical discoveries about early human evolution in Kenya.
In particular, 2021 marks the 10-year anniversary since WTAP discovered the world’s oldest (3.3 million-year-old) archaeological site at Lomekwi 3 in West Turkana: a major discovery that showcases Kenya as the ‘cradle of innovation’. When announced in 2015, this game-changing discovery was the subject of a press conference at NMK attended by the Director-General, which was broadcast in global news media. In 2020, WTAP director Sonia Harmand, with Mathieu
Guérin of the French Embassy in Nairobi, developed the CONFMAP (Consolidating the future through Mapping project, which marks this milestone by celebrating and building upon existing Franco-Kenyan cooperation in developing Kenyan paleosciences. The exhibition will be launched on 2nd December 2021.
