Hello everybody,

The Central Africa in Tervuren museum in Belgium closes for 3 years for a major renovation of its buildings dating back a hundred years.

One of my friends went to the museum that day and sent me pictures with this:

You see in the background, the trunk bed Baron Francis Dhanis famous Belgian soldier who fought the Arab slavery (v. Emine Pasha).

Best regards

All the comforts of home for a Force Publique officer I see! That is incredible that it survived.
