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. Foreigners pay 20k for entrance.

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.

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!
