MUSEUMS AND ART GALLERRIES EXHIBIT THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF A NATION The design called for an ICONIC structure that respects the conservation aspects of the existing gallery and urban fabric of kenyatta avenue and uhuru highway. The structure should also be interpretive, rich in cultural identity and meaning, express shared goals of the kenyan people ,invoke political , historical and ideological codes of kenyans. Moreover, its aesthetic and function should capture the symbols of nationhood while still instilling a sence of citizenry, security, confidence and communalism.
