Abstract
- The author offers insights on how the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium portrayed the colonial past of Belgium. Topics discussed include the way the museum's exhibition of African artefacts contributed to its reputation as a colonial institution in Europe, the Congolese cultural heritage and natural resources displayed at the museum, and the Museum in Motion gallery of the institution which highlights its commitment to decolonization.
