Murambi Genocide Memorial
Murambi Genocide Memorial Centre
A memorial built inside an unfinished technical school, where about 50,000 people were killed in 1994. It is one of Rwanda's most harrowing genocide sites.
The exhibition explains the historical background and course of the genocide. In the classrooms, victims' remains treated with lime are preserved, an extremely powerful and disturbing sight, so it is not suitable for children or anyone with a fragile emotional constitution. Admission is free, donations are welcome, and photography is prohibited. Located in Nyamagabe District, it requires a detour of about 30 minutes on the way from Huye to Nyungwe. Please dress modestly and remain quiet and respectful during your visit.
