Leopold II: 1873-2020

On 9 June 2020, a statue of King Leopold II (1835-1909) was removed from the public space of Ekeren, Antwerp, where it had stood since 1873. Its removal was a highly charged occurrence and led to numerous questions being addressed at the museum. The below text contains the answer to some of those questions.

Polyphony and inclusion

The Congoville exhibition took place from May 29 to October 3, 2021. This group exhibition was curated by guest curator Sandrine Colard (BE/DRC). This exhibition and other future projects fit within a broader development of the museum towards greater polyphony and inclusion.
