Location & Rooms

A magnificent location

Africa Palace, as part of the Royal Museum for Central Africa, combines neoclassical grandeur with modern accessibility. Thanks to efficient connections with Brussels, the location is easily accessible by car and by public transport. In the summer the large patio looking over Tervuren Park is a perfect outdoor space for events.

Our universe

Africa Palace is a suite of three beautiful rooms: each unique, but inseparable.
Africa Palace is always rented out as a whole.

Grandeur galore.

The historical ballroom is a neoclassical showpiece, designed by Alfred-Philibert Aldrophe in 1897, and combining monumental pillars with high ceilings for authentic 19th-century grandeur.

Ideal for custom-made experiences: from banquets for up to 250 people, receptions totalling 400 guests and theatrical productions with up to 280 spectators.

The venue is equipped with a basic light and sound setup perfectly suited for any type of event. A clear audio system and refined lighting provide optimal support for speeches and background music. Microphones and a standard DJ set are available to ensure a smooth flow of the event. This basic installation can easily be upgraded in collaboration with one of our trusted technical partners, depending on the needs and type of event.

This room is used for: wedding ceremonies and parties, banquets, product launches, galas, dance parties and company presentations.
