Rwanda genocide museum

In Kigali, the Campaign Against Genocide Museum opened on July 4 in Rwanda’s national parliament building (Boulevard de l’Umuganda, Kigali, Rwanda). 

The museum comprises three monuments and an interior section of eight rooms housing artifacts and documents from the 1994 genocide in Rwanda that resulted in the deaths of up to 800,000 people, mostly Tutsis and moderate Hutus. (The genocide was finally put to an end when the Rwandan Patriotic Front, led by Paul Kawagame, who is now the president of Rwanda, captured Kigali and helped set up a multi­ethnic government.)
