Campaign Against Genocide Museum
Ingoro y'Amateka yo Guhagarika Jenoside
Housed in the parliament building, this museum tells the story of the Rwandan Patriotic Front's 1994 campaign to stop the genocide. Bullet holes still mark the outer walls.
The museum is housed in the Rwandan parliament building, formerly the National Development Council building. In 1994, a battalion of the Rwandan Patriotic Front was stationed here, and shell and bullet marks still scar the building's outer walls. Maps, artefacts and film recount the battle and the rescue of civilians, and a group of sculptures on the roof depicts combat scenes. Admission follows the national museum's official website, and you may need to show your passport to enter. It can be visited on the same day as the Kigali Convention Centre.
