An exhibition in Antwerp opened this week that revisits Belgium's colonial history in the Congo through a display titled 'Human Zoo'. The exhibit presents historic photographs, artifacts and testimonies from the early twentieth century, when people were shown in fairs that treated them as curiosities. Curators said the display aims to provide a factual account of Belgium's colonial activities and to invite public reflection. The Belgian Ministry of Culture said the exhibition supports national efforts to acknowledge the colonial legacy. Visitors have expressed a range of reactions, with some noting the importance of confronting the past and others expressing concern about the presentation. The museum will offer guided tours and public talks throughout the exhibition's run. Scholars plan to publish analyses of the exhibit's findings after the show concludes.
