HISTORY AND CULTURAL MUSEUMS

The King’s Palace: a wonderfully made thatched building structured like a beehive, is a replica of the original royal residence. A few long-horned Inyambo cattle, descended from the king’s herd, live in the back, where their caretakers meticulously tend to them and sing to them, preserving a unique custom.

Its seven galleries feature historical, ethnographic, artistic, and archaeological items, as well as visual aids, to provide visitors with a comprehensive understanding of Rwandan culture.
