Event Notes
Event Note
 Belgians have established settlements on or organised expeditions to just about every continent on earth. In Congo and Ruanda-Urundi, Belgium went as far as to install a genuine colonial regime, including the issue of postage stamps. So, most attention is focused on these two countries. Colonies were also created in Guatemala and Rio Nunez. In other places, Belgians were very active as explorers or engineers, for instance in China, Fiji, Antarctica or Lado (South Sudan). Patrick Maselis will be showing examples from his collection of this little-known area of Belgian history with many fascinating and rare documents from the early 1600s onwards.
