The Kandt House Museum, formerly known as the Natural History Museum, is located in what is now the city of Kigali, Nyarugenge District, westbound. This location was chosen as the colonial capital in Rwanda of Germany in 1907 by a German resident Richard Kandt under the name of Nyarugenge.The name was changed to Kigali in 1908 because it was too difficult for the colonialists to pronounce. Kandt House Museum is situated 3½ km east of Rutagara.
