Barely five years after the Nairobi National Museum closed its doors to undertake major refurbishments, those efforts to modernize the museum have come to naught after the museums gate and famous sculpture of the evolution of early man were demolished to pave way for the ongoing construction of Thika Highway. The two icons came down after it was discovered that they were on a road reserve.
