Koloniënpaleis

Het museum [Huis van Dijck] voor Midden-Afrika is een uniek historische locatie in de rustige, groene omgeving van Tervuren. Het is gemakkelijk bereikbaar en de huidige balzaal is nog steeds de oorspronkelijk feestzaal van het authentieke paleis uit de negentiende eeuw. Hier kunnen diners tot 300 personen en cocktails tot 600 personen plaatsvinden. In de zomer kan men genieten van het mooie terras met zicht op het park van Tervuren.

First, the banquet hall is part of the historic palace where the Royal Museum for Central Africa is housed. What’s more, the Royal Museum for Central Africa originated from the World Exhibition of 1897.

And too stimulate the interest in Belgium for its Congo Free State, Leopold II organised an exhibition. Congo exhibition in the Colonial Palace in Tervuren was part of this grand event. Furthermore, the enormous success led to the founding of the first Congo Museum in 1898. From the beginning, this institution received a scientific assignment. However, due to the rapid expansion of the collections, a larger building was necessary. So, in 1910 Albert I inaugurated the museum and bestowed the name after the Congolese independence.
