Rwesero Art Museum, Art museum in Nyanza, Rwanda.
The Rwesero Art Museum occupies a grand palace building with traditional architectural elements and modern design features in the hills of Nyanza.
Construction of the structure began as a royal residence for King Mutara III Rudahigwa, who passed away in 1959 before its completion.
The museum displays contemporary Rwandan paintings and sculptures that focus on themes of national unity, reconciliation, and social transformation.
Visitors receive a thirty percent discount on admission to the nearby King's Palace Museum when presenting their Rwesero Art Museum ticket.
