Matbronze Gallery

One our last day in Nairobi we took in several tourist sites such as the Giraffe Sanctuary and a number of curio shops. We also had a visit to the Matbronze Gallery which is equal parts coffee shop and art boutique for rich folks. The grounds themselves are very pleasant with lots of sculptures of African wildlife which are free to roam around.
The interior is quite pleasant as well with numerous works of art in all shapes and sizes as well as a window you can look through to see artists creating their next sculptures. While all of it was beautiful, it fell in the unfortunate categories of 1) too expensive to buy and too huge to move OR 2) affordable and so small you'd lose or forget it.
We did make friends with the local cat however and were able to get this picture of him juxtaposed as Kenyas greatest predator.
