Butare National Museum

The Butare National Museum, located in Huye (formerly Butare), is Rwanda’s most comprehensive cultural museum. It showcases the country’s history, art, and traditions through rich collections of artifacts, traditional clothing, hunting tools, musical instruments, and crafts.

Guests can expect to learn about Rwanda’s pre-colonial lifestyles, spiritual practices, and the evolution of its communities over centuries. Walking through the museum’s exhibitions feels like stepping into the heart of Rwanda’s identity, where every display tells a piece of the national story.
