Guided Visit to
African Museum
Saturday, March 16, 2019 - 10:45 a.m.

     
Africa Museum - Tervuren

The Africa Museum in Tervuren is one of the most beautiful and impressive Africanist museums in the world. It focuses on Congo, a former Belgian colony, but the sphere of interest however (especially in biological research) extends to the whole Congo River basin, Middle Africa, East Africa and West Africa, attempting to integrate Africa as a whole. Once a colonial propaganda museum erected by King Leopold II at the turn of the 20th century, the Royal Museum for Central Africa underwent five years of renovation and reopened last December. The revamped museum takes a more critical look at Belgium's colonial past and offers a wide variety of fascinating exhibits. They include a mix of modern and old, contrasting the original collection of artifacts with video clips of Belgian Congolese talking about their experiences.

Please note that this visit is limited to 15 people.
