and the regular collection.
Why is it so good?
1) The great collection of stuffed animals:
I just happen to love animals, even dead. And much to Marks delight they even have a Coelacanth (they have only caught 120 ever!).
2) A nice collection of objects:
I don't know that much about African objects but they often look funny: spoons with legs for instance. And somehow some Inuit objects were mixed in too, really weird...
3) The building and gardens itself:
Well, it is a terrific colonial palace and the perfect place for this museum. This way you really feel what that period was like.
4) The special exhibits where you can learn all about the effects of colonialism and life in Congo:
So much information, especially visual! Very interesting too and never judgemental.
Oh, and I love the old African-Cuban music you could listen to ;-)
Summary: every-one should go!
You can see and learn a lot here, have a drink in the restaurant and have a stroll in the park. And Tervuren itself is a very green and pretty place too.
Oh, and it was for free in our case because of our Werchter wristband ;-D
So what you all waiting for?
mmm, I have never been there,
ReplyDeleteactually, I have never even thought of going,
but now you got my attention!
Anyone want to join me?
