Royal Museum of Central Africa

After an unplanned early breakfast due to sharing with 😴, it turned out excellent with a wander through the city before my museum visit. This is the first museum that I have visited, which acknowledges that the majority of items were obtained during colonialism and is working to establish provenance, going as far as openly classifying an item as 'looted cultural property'.

The challenge is whether any of the items where provenence has established will be repatriated... I am not holding my breath 🥺
