The museum is set in his former residence and includes historical displays on colonial Rwanda, interactions between locals and early explorers, and exhibits on Rwandan life, wildlife, and society before and during colonial times. Visitors can also enjoy thematic exhibitions, including snakes and crocodiles, to understand human-wildlife interactions. The Kandt House Museum provides an educational and engaging experience for history enthusiasts, students, and cultural explorers.
