The Campaign Against Genocide Museum, situated in Kigali's Parliamentary Building, chronicles the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and the military campaign to stop it. Exhibits detail the planning and execution of the genocide, the role of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in ending the killings, and the subsequent liberation. Visitors see photographs, weapons, and personal testimonies, as well as the actual chamber where the RPF planned its military strategy. The museum offers a sobering but essential perspective on Rwanda's path to peace.
