Teave
Kiired faktid: Üle 250 000 genotsiidiohvri on maetud siia 85 ühishauda, kusjuures igal aastal avastatakse üle riigi veel umbes 30 000 täiendavat surnukeha. Mälestusmüüridele on paigutatud tuhandeid fotosid ohvritest koos perekondade annetatud isiklike esemetega nagu riided ja isikutunnistused.
Esiletõstmised: Lasteruum mõjub kõige rängemalt: hiiglaslikele paneelidele on kantud 300 lapse nimed, näidates igaühe lemmiktoitu, viimaseid sõnu ja surmapõhjust. Näete fotot 2-aastasest, kes armastas banaane ja suri matšeetelöögist pähe, muutes kaotuse ulatuse sügavalt isiklikuks.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- The memorial's cafe serves excellent Rwandan coffee and lunch, a good spot to decompress after the heavy exhibitions.
- No photography is allowed inside the permanent exhibition halls, but the outdoor memorial gardens and Genocide Archive are fine to photograph.
- Plan your visit for the first floor exhibition first, then the children's room, then the outdoor gardens and mass grave plaques last.
- If emotions run high, step into the reflection room near the exit where counselors are available and no one rushes you.
