The nearby Ethnographic Museum in Huye houses artifacts from Rwanda's rich culture of hunting, fshing, and pottery making. The Kigali Memorial Centre is an immensely moving remembrance of Rwanda's greatest tragedy. The memorial provides an unfinchingly honest timeline of the genocide's unfolding through text, photographs, audiovisual clips, and in one special room, actual remains and personal effects of victims.

"Genocide is a crime without borders, which makes the memorial a place not only for Rwandans but for people from all over the world to learn about genocide and preventing future violence," he says. "We want visitors to understand our story and take its lessons with them back to their own countries."
