Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre

The Kigali Genocide Memorial contains exhibits, documentation centers, and burial grounds spread across multiple levels of the main building and surrounding gardens.

The memorial opened in 2004, marking the tenth anniversary of the 1994 genocide, and houses the remains of more than 250,000 victims within its grounds.

The education center presents detailed exhibitions about Rwanda's history, featuring photographs, artifacts, and personal testimonies from genocide survivors.

The memorial welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in English, French, and Kinyarwanda languages.

A dedicated children's room displays photographs and personal information about young victims, including their favorite foods, activities, and final moments.
