The Evolution of Communication, Trade and Currency

Selected exhibits explore how communication, trade and currency have evolved through history, demonstrating how human societies organise themselves, exchange ideas and build economies.

Communication and trade through objects

The museum uses communication, trade and Kenyan currency as visible records of changing society. Currency is particularly useful because design, materials and denominations can prompt discussion about history, national identity, technology and exchange.

The Evolution Science Museum presents a broad story of change over time. The museum explores human evolution, the evolution of communication and the evolution of Kenyan currency, using guided interpretation to make large ideas approachable.
