The '''{{wp|National Museums of Kenya#Nairobi National Museum of Kenya|National Museum of Kenya}}''' (whose proper name is the '''Nairobi National Museum'''<ref>"Nairobi National Museum." ''National Museums of Kenya'', www.museums.or.ke/introduction/. Retrieved January 22, 2018.</ref>) is a museum in [[Nairobi]]. It appears in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']] as one of the city's landmarks. In the game, it has been closed due to a three million year-old [[human skull]] being stolen by [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and it is [[Luigi]]'s task to find and return it, proving its authenticity by answering questions about the museum and the skull (seen below). He is rewarded 2,800 dollars for returning it, plus a 3,200 dollar bonus if he returns it first.

==Trivia==
*In the NES version, the museum is depicted on the map as a human skull.
*Although the game describes the human skull as being "almost 3 million years old", this information is based on an incorrect estimation; the actual skull found by Leakey is estimated to be roughly 1.9 million years old, and furthermore assumed to have belonged to a species known as [[wikipedia:Homo rudolfensis|homo rudolfensis]], not homo habilis.
