In one of the tribes, to become a man, a boy would go out to hunt birds for the headdress seen above.

Maria and Megan goofing off. When I stood there it said I weighed as much as a warthog. All three of us together made a zebra.

Disturbing map of Kenya covered in butterflies.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet trumpets!

Apes DNA are 96 percent similar to that of humans. I would challenge evolution doubters to come to this museum and look at the skulls all lined up in a chronological row. The evidence is overwhelming.

Only complete Proconsul skull ever found, one of the earliest apes. The possible shared ancestor for two families, the modern ape and the modern man.

 The black skull- proof that there were two types of early man occupying the planet at the same time.

Really cool, realistic models of life as an early (wo)man.

Proof that different types of humans lived together.

Warrior and ceremonial maps- gives me good visuals for 'Things Fall Apart.'

Poundin some beer with the most epic straws of all time.

 Warrior skirt, Swahili chair, and check out the tallest, most epic walking stick of all time.

I don't really understand these, but they're Maasai, stretched earlobe earrings.

These are more typical earlobe stretchers.

Anti Female Genital Mutilation movement embraces alternative forms of ceremony.

Lyre and trumpet.

Male circumcision rite mask.

Check out the elephant skeleton.

Awesommme kids toys- bow and arrow and amazing wooden bike.

Disgusting hall of stuffed birds.

Maria with Maasai man in gift shop who insisted upon dressing her up hahaha!

There was also some awesome modern art at the museum, but I don't have pictures of them, unfortunately.
