CAMPAIGN AGAINST GENOCIDE MUSEUM
Overview
Campaign Against Genocide Museum is a museum located in the Parliamentary building, in Kigali just 800 meters behind conventional center road point, and just 4.9km, 9 minutes’ drive from Kanombe Airport. This campaign against Genocide Museum was opened officially on 13th December, 2017 by H.E Paul Kagame.
The museum offers deeper learning of the political events that led to the 1994 genocide, its effects and the liberation struggle, having been the epicentre of the liberation struggle. It exhudes modernity furnished partially with traditional Rwandan artefacts like the Imigingo and traditional wall cladding . The well-lit interior is lined with digital pictures and embedded audio and visual videos and pictures for visitors to watch, read and listen to.
Parliament was chosen to host this space because it was the base for Rwanda Patriotic Army who sheltered here, and were engaged in mediation talks with the regime of president Juvenile Habyarimana. It is therefore a shrine for the liberation struggle story.
