From Displaying Curious to Showing Masterpieces: the Musee Royal de l'Afrique In Tervuren, Belgium, a Century of Collecting. — For a century now, the ethnological section of the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium, has managed a vast collection of objects. At the start, sculptures were exhibited for neither aesthetic nor scientific purposes; they merely served as an exotic decor for colonial propaganda. Over time, some of these sculptures have attained recognition as "masterpieces", whereas others have been catalogued as the material evidence of given cultures. The way these objects have acquired status in a museum with many other sections of natural and human sciences is described
