The Ethnographic Museum (Kinyarwanda: Inzu ndangamurage[1]), formerly the National Museum of Rwanda (French: Musée national du Rwanda, Kinyarwanda: Ingoro y'Umurage w'u Rwanda), is a national museum in Rwanda. It is located in Butare.[2] It is owned by Institute of National Museums of Rwanda.[3]

It was built with help of the Belgian government and opened in 1989.[2] It is also a good source of information on the cultural history of the country and the region.[2] It is also known as the site of the murder of Queen Dowager Rosalie Gicanda and several others during the Rwandan genocide.[4]
