King's Palace Museum Rukari

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.
