Kings Palace Museum Rukari
Rwanda · Africa
關於
The King's Palace Museum Rukari is a museum in Rwanda located in the town of Nyanza, established within the former palace complex of King Mutara III Rudahigwa. The site served as the seat of Rwandan kings and preserves both a reconstructed traditional royal residence and a modern palace built in 1930–1933. The museum is noted for its herd of long-horned Inyambo cattle, a living symbol of Rwandan royal culture, and for the Mwima mausoleum on an adjacent hill where successive kings and their consorts are interred.
Inaugurated in May 2008, the museum is administered by the Rwanda Cultural Heritage Academy (RCHA), a public institution established in 2020 that merged the former Institute of National Museums of Rwanda with two other bodies.
