Africa Palace, Colonial museum in Tervuren, Belgium
The Palace of Colonies features a grand historical hall with high ceilings, ornate decorations, and large windows that illuminate the exhibition spaces.
Constructed for the 1897 Brussels International Exposition, the Palace of Colonies displayed artifacts and exhibitions about Belgium's colonial activities in Africa.
The palace houses collections of African art, historical documents, and ethnographic materials that document the interactions between Belgium and Central Africa.
The venue contains multiple halls for events, with the main space accommodating 300 guests for dinners and 600 people for reception functions.
The building stands on the former site of the Pavilion of Tervuren, which burned down in 1879 while housing Charlotte of Belgium, the former Empress of Mexico.
