Scientific Research

Some collections in the Historical Gallery, dedicated to Belgian military history in 1830-1914, and in particular the African showcases, have been subjected to inventory control since 1 February 2021. War Heritage Institute scientists and collection staff, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Royal Museum for Central Africa are examining this unique and important heritage in order to learn more about its origins and history. The study of these objects takes place within the framework of a prestigious and multidisciplinary BRAIN project entitled CAHN, and is sponsored by the Department of Belgian Scientific Policy.
