The National Museum of Kenya (whose proper name is the Nairobi National Museum[1]) is a museum in Nairobi. It appears in the PC, SNES, and 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 Troopas, 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[edit]
- 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 homo rudolfensis, not homo habilis.
