Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre
Opening on the tenth anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide of
1994, the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre is a sobering and yet
touching museum dedicated to the nearly one million people who lost
their lives in the conflict. More than 250,000 people are buried at
the centre, which has become an educational site with museums and
exhibits dedicated to preventing genocides around the world. The
genocide which saw 800,000 men, women and children killed receives
meaningful and tasteful tribute with three permanent exhibitions,
including the Education Centre, Memorial Gardens, and National
Documentation Centre of the Genocide.
Information & Facts

Kinyarwanda, French and English are the official

people in the tourist centres.

The official currency is the Rwanda franc (RWF), which is
divided into 100 centimes. The US dollar is the hard currency of
preference; travellers cheques are difficult to exchange, even in
