National museum site; former dedicated art museum

Perched on Rwesero Hill in Nyanza District, the Kwigira Museum is a unique destination that celebrates Rwanda’s spirit of self-reliance and resilience. Originally built as the royal palace for King Mutara III Rudahigwa, the structure was completed in 1958, but the king tragically passed away before he could inaugurate it. Over the years, this remarkable building has served many roles, including housing various government institutions. Since 2018, it has been transformed into the Kwigira Museum, a space dedicated to showcasing Rwanda’s Homegrown Initiatives – programs that have played a vital role in rebuilding and uniting the nation.
