In this article, we look at the Meru Museum Entrance Fees. Meru Museum originated in 1974 in an old historic building that was vacated by the District Commissioner, whose office it had been in since the colonial days. The building housing the Meru Museum dates back to 1916. In the colonial era, it served as an administrative node in the Mount Kenya region.
The museum was a joint effort by the Meru Municipal and County Councils, together with the National Museums of Kenya, to create an attractive and formative centre useful to the local people and visitors. Aspects of the cultural and diverse history of the Meru people are well illustrated by the numerous displays. Two rather unusual amenities of the Meru Museum are a garden of indigenous medicinal shrubs and herbs together with a theatre. A compound of traditional huts has been constructed on the grounds, which are included in tours of the museum. An outdoor platform for dancing and musical programs along with sales kiosks, complete the exterior.
