O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Više od 250.000 žrtava genocida pokopano je ovdje u 85 masovnih grobnica, a još oko 30.000 tijela svake se godine otkrije diljem zemlje. Na zidovima memorijala izložene su tisuće fotografija žrtava, uz osobne predmete poput odjeće i osobnih iskaznica koje su donirale obitelji.
Istaknuto: Dječja soba najviše pogađa: velike ploče navode 300 djece po imenu, pokazujući omiljenu hranu svakog djeteta, posljednje riječi i uzrok smrti. Vidjet ćete fotografiju dvogodišnjaka koji je volio banane i umro od udarca mačetom u glavu, što razmjere gubitka čini duboko osobnima.
Insajderski savjeti
- 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.
