An interesting collection of artifacts and old pictures providing detailed insight into the lives and customs of the Burundi people before the colonial time. Yes, the presentation is a bit dated, but the curator, Jean Bosco, who speaks English very well, can tell you passionately about it. Not to be missed if you're truly interested in Burundi as a country!

Great little local museum near the drum sanctuary. We stopped on the way, and my guide explained all the various items. Nice that they have something like this way out here.

Un musée qui est la plus belle expérience culturelle que nous ayons eu au Burundi. Ce musée est un bon aperçu de l'histoire et de la culture burundaise. Toutefois, l'expérience est très liée à la qualité du guide (la visite est guidée) et il y a peu de panneaux de lecture dans le musée. Le musée reste petit et finalement assez peu fourni, mais c'est une bonne entrée en matière ! Merci à notre guide qui fourmillait d'anecdotes

The museum is small, but has a great collection of items and pictures. What made it better are the guided explanations of Burundian life. We also talked about the current situation in Burundi, and on many other topics. The guide was really passionate, and he made the visit a memorable one.
