Description

The "Royal Museum for Central Africa" in #Tervuren (Vlaams-Brabant), Belgium, is a grand Beaux-Arts structure designed by French architect Charles Girault between 1905 and 1910. Commissioned by King Leopold II, it features a 125-meter-long neoclassical façade, a central dome, and ornate detailing reminiscent of the Petit Palais in Paris. The building is set within formal French gardens and is complemented by adjacent structures like the Africa Palace (formerly the Palace of the Colonies), the Stanley Pavilion, and the CAPA building.
