Permanent exhibition

What do well-known and less well-known visitors think of this museum?

• As it’s displayed now, the permanent exhibition still reflects the way Europe regarded Africa in the nineteen-sixties, despite a radically altered social context not only in Africa but here as well. One of the Museum’s priorities now is the renovation and refurbishment of the Museum building.
• You can find out more about the galleries and their objects in the Museum Key, the visitors’ guide which you can buy in the Museum itself or order via publications@africamuseum.be. Twenty or so surprising objects give you an idea of what there is to discover in the Royal Museum for Central Africa.
