This museum was originally built as a propaganda piece for King Léopold's colonial empire and has been repurposed in recent years. Some of the original decor from the colonial period is still there (including maps and statues) or is now covered up. The museum now contains a number of different exhibits on African culture, geography, traditions and wildlife of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. There are art pieces, exhibits and stuffed animals.

What's missing is a serious look at the millions of people who died in under the Congo Free State and the huge population decline that followed it. That is worthy of a museum itself and you won't get sufficient detail here.

There's also no monument on the grounds or on site to the millions who died, were enslaved or the many who were mutilated. What you will find are a few colonial propaganda pieces or statues of Léopold (the man primarily responsible for their suffering).

Go to this museum only if you are interested in the Congo, its culture today or how old propaganda for colonisation operated.

The children's workshop for dream houses was fantastic.

Rassistisch und kolonialistisch, es wird über kolonialisierte Menschen geredet statt sie zu Wort kommen zu lassen, kritisiert Raubkunst und stellt sie gleichzeitig aus

Het woke gebeuren heeft het museum in zijn handen. Het kan nu beter sluiten.

Great to understand colonial past of Belgium in Congo

Vraiment déçue ! Je ne comprends pas pourquoi il faut ignorer l'esclavagisme et toute une partie de l'Histoire ! L'ancien musée ne montrait pas les conditions de vie des colonisés, ni les actions condamnables du Roi. Mais maintenant, il n'y a plus de "blanc", d'esclavagisme, de scènes de vie d'époque...

The artefacts were interesting but not ordered in a story-telling way. There was a lot of written information but limited interactive exhibits. There wasn't much information about the artefacts - where exactly they come from and what is their purpose. There wasn't enough light. The staff was not very friendly and we were not allowed to enter with a backpack with photo equipment although taking photos was allowed.

Royal Museum for Central Africa:

Belçika' nın Kongo, Ruanda ve Brundi' ye medeniyet götürdükten sonra geriye getirdiklerinin sergilendiği müze.

Avrupa' da Sanayi Devrimi ilk olarak Belçika' da hayat bulur. Kömür ve demir rezervlerinin zenginiğiyle demir çelik endüstrisi hızla gelişir. İlk demiryolu Brüksel - Mechelen arasında döşenir. Bu hızlı gelişimle birlikte Brüksel' de ekonomi hızla büyür, tarımdan uzaklaşılarak fabrika ve madenlerde çalışan insanların iş koşulları, çalışma saatleri ve düşük ücretlerinde uçurum artar. Bu durum karşısında hükümet yeni iş imkanları ve pazar arayışına girer. Belçika' nın sömürge tarihi başlar: Kral II. Leopold 1885 yılında Afrika' da Kongo' yu sahiplenerek 1908 yılına kadar sömürür ve 1897 yılında bu müzeyi açar.

Improvements have been made, and I appreciate the acknowledgement that many of the items were stolen but could still be better.

Such a pity that there's absolutely NO place to buy a coffee or water unless you have cash or want to visit the overpriced bistro... come on, it's 2024. People need water...

Molto interessante con reperti provenienti dalle ex colonie del Congo,Ruanda e Burundi. Un viaggio ai tempi dei grandi esploratori con animali imbalsamati e manufatti africani .Bellissimo il parco circostante. Un po lontano da raggiungere con cambio di 3 mezzi ma fattibile.

Les jardins sont fantastiques. Le bâtiment aussi. Du contenu, à ne pas perdre sourtout la salle des animaux.

2 uur geleid bezoek met een groep (volwassen) Franstaligen. In het ondergronds gedeelte tussen het nieuw en oud gebouw eerst bijna een uur lang loodzwaar anti racisme onderricht, precies of we waren een groep schoolkinderen. Zelfs het naakt in de negentiende-eeuwse beeldhouwkunst wordt in vraag gesteld. Helaas tijd te kort voor het bezoek aan de collecties, laatste interessante zalen voorbij moeten spurten. Voor wie het museum voor de vijf jaar sluiting heeft gekend ronduit ontgoochelend.

Los alrededores son preciosos y solo por eso merece la pena la visita, pero al museo le falta un hilo conductor y narrativa

The museum in its current state offers little of interest to normal people. Instead it has effectively been transformed into a politically-tinged moral lecture. See photos.

Ciekawe muzeum. Różna tematyka eksponatów. Mało o tym, jak Belgowie wyzyskiwali ten obszar

To muzeum, to hołd złożony bandytom jakim są Belgowie, mordercy dzikich afrykańskich zwierząt, złodzieje cennych artefaktów itd. Bandycki naród, do dziś plują w twarz czego przejawem jest to muzeum. Belgowie tak jak Niemcy po II wojnie powinni zostać przez Afrykańczyków skrupulatnie rozliczeni..
