Built on the outskirts of the city in 1980 as the residence of the country´s second president Juvénal Habyarimana, it was opened to the public in 2009 as the Presidential Palace Museum, and became an art museum nine years later, displaying contemporary works by Rwandan and international artists. As a "bonus," you can also see the remains of the presidential Dassault Falcon 50 jet whose 1994 shooting down by parties never discovered triggered the infamous hundred-day genocide by Hutu militias against hundreds of thousands of minority Tutsi people.
