African Colonial Museum in Belgium to Re-open
The Royal Museum for Central Africa is aiming to tell a different story of colonisation.
The Royal Museum of Central Africa in Brussels was built at the beginning of the 20th century to celebrate Belgium’s colonisation of the Congo. The museum is now re-opening, aiming to tell a more accurate account of what happened during this period.
