Karen Blixen MuseumThis museum was originally the home of Karen
Blixen, who came to Kenya from Denmark in the
early part of this century; the present museum
site is at the heart of the larger coffee plantation
run by Blixen between 1914 and 1931. The house
and surrounding land was donated by the Danish
government to Kenya at independence; the house
was restored by the Danish government and was
used during the filming of Out of Africa, which
immortalised Karen Blixen's book by the same
name. The Museum was opened to the public in
1986.Much of the original furniture is on display
in the house, and combined with the beautifully
landscaped gardens and encompassing view of
the Ngong Hills, the Museum has continued to
be very popular destination for international
and local visitors.
