Collecting?
2024

The series Collecting? takes a close look at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium, and its colonial heritage.
The Museum has a collection of 120,000 ethnographic artefacts from Central Africa, which were mostly taken under brutal colonial rule - parts of it are on public display at the museum, located in the outskirts of Brussels.

Which interests guide the museum‘s collection today, and how does it deal with its very own colonial history?
