MATBRONZE ART GALLERY AND FOUNDRY

Started by acclaimed sculpture artist Denis Matthews in 1987, the Matbronze Wildlife Art Gallery and Foundry was the first bronze foundry in East Africa. A haven for contemporary African sculptures, the gallery exhibits and sells everything from elephant statues and lion paw-shaped ashtrays to bronze starfish and coconuts, capturing the diversity of Africa’s rich fauna and flora. Guests are invited to watch part of the creation process such as bronze smelting and lost wax casting, witnessing craftsmanship at its best. The gallery also showcases a number of compelling wildlife and landscape paintings in various media and holds occasional photographic art exhibitions. After strolling through the gallery, stop by the coffee shop and relax in the lush garden abundant with animal sculptures, and appreciate Kenya’s wildlife through another lens.
