The museum came about because of the world exhibition of 1897 in Brussels. Then Leopold II showed off objects and art from the Belgian colony of Congo in the Colonial Palace in Tervuren.
After the World's Fair, the temporary exhibition became permanent. The Colonial Palace soon proved too small and Leopold II had a new, gigantic museum built, which his successor Albert I opened in 1910. In addition to being a museum, the institution was also a scientific institution. And the park around it was and still is beautiful ! The building is also frequently used for luxurious parties .

King Leopold II wanted to introduce the Belgian population to the Congo colony through a museum. The royal domains in Tervuren were chosen as the location. This was the birth of the Congo Museum. Initially, on the occasion of the Colonial Exhibition in 1897 in the Africa Palace (former Colonial Palace) that had been set up for this purpose, but this soon proved to be too small.

The French architect Charles Girault was appointed to draw up the plans for a new museum. The building had to radiate the prestige of the then young Belgian state.
