Environmental Museum boosted with natural history objects"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The museum was established in 2015, focusing on renewable and non-renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>In the first phase, the ministry  relocated different animal mummies of crocodiles, snakes, birds, monkeys, butterflies, zebra and gorillas among other animals found in Rwandan parks. <\/p>\n<p>Also relocated are minerals like aluminum, colta, wolfram among others found in Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p>The museum consists of three components; the first for energy, the second for animals and mining and the third for plants like trees and herbs used for traditional healing <\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the event last week, the Minister for Sports and Culture, Julienne Uwacu said that new objects will help boost visitors.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIncreasing objects will also help to increase visitors\u201d she said adding that students will be able to visit the museum and see what they learn in theory.<\/p>\n<p>She said that the more people visit the museum the more they will understand the importance of environmental conservation.<\/p>\n<p>The Environmental Museum head, Andrew Ndabaga said that  20,000 people used to visit the museum per year and optimistic that the number will increase following new changes.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cPeople are attracted to different aspects; someone who will not understand energy affairs will visit animals section or minerals or gardens,\u201d  he said.   <\/p>\n<p>INMR will also relocate snakes currently located in Natural History Museum. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document
