Tervuren Park

Highlight • Forest

There are numerous ponds in the Tervuren Park. The Vossemvijver and the southern Kanaal- and Gertrudisvijver were recently restored and give part of the southern park area back its former glory. Fish and amphibians find it pleasant to stay there thanks to a varied aquatic plant growth and the construction of spawning grounds.

Mirror Pond with a view of the AfricaMuseum

Highlight • Lake

The museum's origins date back to the 1897 World's Fair, when the section dedicated to the Congo colony was established in the Palais de l'Afrique (formerly the Palais des Colonies) in Tervueren Park. Following its success, and at the instigation of King Leopold II, the temporary exhibition was converted into a permanent museum and scientific institute dedicated to the Belgian Congo, with the aim of generating interest and showcasing the country's economic potential.

The Palais de l'Afrique quickly became too small, so Leopold II commissioned Charles Girault, architect of the Petit Palais in Paris, to build a new museum and redevelop the entire site. Leopold II died before the project was completed, and the museum was inaugurated in 1910 by King Albert I.

The museum was closed for five years, from 2013 to 2018, for major restoration and renovation work.

Tervuren Park Ponds

Highlight • Lake

In the park of Tervuren on the edge of the Sonian Forest there are several large ponds. Here in this park you will also find the Africa Museum. During the world exhibition of 1958 an African village was rebuilt here with real African inhabitants. When it turned out that these people were not resistant to the climate this "exhibition" was stopped.
