Exploring Rwanda’s museums and historical sites
With a rich history that goes back centuries, exploring Rwanda’s cultural heritage is a must for both the discerning domestic and foreign tourist. And with over 300 historical sites, according to the Institute of National Museums of Rwanda (INMR), there are plenty of places to visit.
Out of these sites, only a few have been developed into museums
.
Before 2007, there was only one museum in Rwanda- The National Museum of Rwanda, located in Huye District, in the Southern Province. Since then, the number has increased eightfold.
The New Times explored these different museums and met with various stakeholders to understand how Government of Rwanda’s investment in the different museums and heritage sites in the country has increased not only tourism dollars but also understanding of Rwanda’s past.

Watch this interview with survivor, Kayitesi Immacule, at the Kwibuka Flame Tour Event in Nyanza District.
The Urumuri Rutazima (Kwibuka Flame) will travel through Rwanda's thirty districts before reaching Kigali on 7 April 2014, the start of the national mourning period.
The flame symbolises remembrance as well as the resilience and courage of Rwandans over the past twenty years. Carried in a simple lamp, it will be used to light other lamps in communities around Rwanda. To mark the 20th commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsi, all memorial fires throughout the country will stem from this single Kwibuka Flame.
On returning to Kigali, President Paul Kagame will use the Kwibuka Flame to light the National Flame of Mourning. This will take place on 7 April 2014, marking the official beginning of the national mourning period. The flame will also be the source of the fire used at the candlelit vigil at Amahoro Stadium on the evening of 7 April 2014.

Rwanda Travel Guide
Rwanda is a relatively stable East African country, and easily accessible from Kenya and Uganda. It is relatively easy, safe and simple to travel around. Its renowned Volcanoes National Park is home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. The park encompasses 4,507m-tall Mt. Karisimbi and 4 other forested volcanoes. In the southwest is Nyungwe National Park, with ancient montane rainforest that's a habitat for chimpanzees and other primates.
Rwanda is landlocked, surrounded by Uganda to the north, Tanzania to the east, Burundi to the south, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Rwanda is not only the land of a thousand hills, but also a country rich in flora and fauna and stunning natural beauty in its scenic rolling and breathtaking green savannah. The country hosts some rare species of animals like the silverback mountain gorillas as well as unique birds and insects in the tropical forest of Nyungwe.
It's been more than two decades since the civil war and genocide of 1994 that devastated this tiny country, and it's come a long way, being now a member of the Commonwealth. Expect a warm and friendly welcome to a beautiful country, as well as security advisories.

Kinyarwanda is the chief spoken language in Rwanda. It is also spoken in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo and in the south of Uganda (Bufumbira-area). Kinyarwanda is a language of the Bantu linguistic family. It is closely related to Kirundi spoken in the neighboring country Burundi and to Giha of western Tanzania.
English and French are also official languages, and many residents (particularly in urban areas) will speak one or the other in addition to Kinyarwanda.
The Genocide Memorial in Kigali is a good insight into one of the world's greatest tragedies. It's free to walk around but audio guides are $15. The Nyamata Genocide Memorial is a worthwhile complement to the Gisozi Memorial Centre in Kigali. Located in the town of Nyamata, 40 minutes south of Kigali on a newly paved road, the memorial is in a church where over 10,000 people were killed during the 1994 genocide. The Ntarama Genocide Memorial, just 20 minutes away from the Nyamata memorial, is also worth visiting. National Museum of Butare in Huye is the National Museum of Rwanda.
Lake Kivu in Western Rwanda is a large lake bordering the DRC, it's a nice place to relax for a week or so. Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park) , home of the mountain gorillas, and the setting for Gorillas in the Mist, author Dian Fossey's research. If you can afford it it's an excellent experience, and even possible as a daytrip from Kigali.
