The museum is a quite big distance from the city centre but very well connected from the Montgomery station. Located in a beautiful park, must be very scenic during late spring and early summer. The museum contains a great deal of exhibits from Central Africa, letting us know a bit better what is the reality of people living in that... More

Although the museum looks quite outdated, it´s still lovely in its own way. The outdoors setting is really nice. I visited the place in February and it looked somehow truly majestic and grand with grey-cloud and gloomy background. The building of the Palace of the Colonies is really nice and the park around Musee de l´Afrique is also very lovely.... More

I had the pleasure of making the interesting but out of the way visit to this museum in spring 2012. I arrived 2 hours before closing thinking i'd have time to see it all but I was truly blown away by the ornate beauty of the building itself and the charming old fashiondness of the collections. It was more than... More

The museum is a bit of a mixed bag of interesting exhibits and dated items, however I belive it is to go through some modernisation. There is little that one probably hasn't seen elsewhere if your are a regular natural history museum visitor. The narratives associated with exhibits are brief and in some cases not present, with all in Dutch/French... More

This museum is worth your visit for so many reasons, and you need to be quick as it will close for a major renovation in 2013.

Recent improvements have been good at the museum, but it is still disturbingly uncritical of colonial times. The statues in the entrance of triumphant Belgians bringing civilization to the poor Africans are incredibly racist!

The Royal Museum for Central Africa is in a remote Brussels suburb named Tuveren, but it is a delightful trip out there. The building is a former palace of King Leopold II, and the route travels through "Embassy Row", with lots of interesting buildings housing the embassies of numerous foreign countries. This museum is also known, commonly, as "The Africa... More

This museum is located in a magnificent building from 1905 located in a very nice, big park good for walking. You get a glimps og Belgium's colonial era whatever you think about it. It has quite a nice little restaurant with african dishes. You can get there by car as we did, or there is a tram with a quite... More
