We took a yearly subscription and go there very often with our young daughter. She is amazed by the fishes and the big animal section. The rest of the exhibition is very well organised too and interactive. This is for me one of the best museum in Brussels. And the park around is just magical.

Unexpected and very educational discovery. First, the park and the buildings are just magnificent. Further, the collection is very rich and diverse, and there are lots of explanations about the pieces and their history/rationale for being exposed.

We did not visit it but it is really beautiful from the outside, and Tervuren Park is just amazing, a whole day of walking there is not too much. Furthermore, if you are hungry do not hesitate to go to Het Spaans Huis, il little restaurant in the center of the Park. The staff is really nice and prices are OK, just need to book a table to be sure of having seats.

The museum is very nice and definitely way better after the renovation. It is very factual and it explains the history of Africa very well.

Amazing collection in a renovated glorious building. You'll spend at least 3 hours there, there is so much to see and learn! The interactive sections should be improved though, headphones weren't working, screens were off, the virtual reality sets broken..And not enough staff to help the visitors.

First of all, it's such a beautiful tram (n44) journey from the center to the museum that it's worth even if only for that. Second of all, you will see one of the most special trees in the world in a perfect park that surrounds the museum. Then the museum. It's fresh. It' s new. It deals with one of the most complex situations of the 21st century: ex colonial powers and their firmer colonies. In this case you have Belgium vs RD Congo and Rwanda and Burundi. You will have a wonderful day.

I has been alway a beauty , as old as new ... I had his charme . BUT before it was really a colonial museum which was not of this time it has transformed into an open museum with lots of information about the African culture (the languages , history, ...) and the influence it had/has on our culture . This in a positive was . You feel to go on holiday when you leave the museum . So well done to the curators who made it a positive museum .
