Not the most ideal place to visit on a day off – a museum portraying a genocide – but certainly one of the most insightful things to do in the country!
The Genocide Memorial Centre takes you through every step of Rwanda’s history, explaining the complete war and genocide from every angle in a very sensitive manner. Even through I thought I new the whole story, having read quite a lot about it before I came, the museum put things to me much more into perspective. Definitely recommended if you are to pass through Kigali at any stage!
The last placard on the wall in the museum read something along the lines of: a genocide is not the killing of thousands of people, it’s thousands of killings of individuals.
