Claim: King Leopold II was against the building of The Royal Museum for Central Africa which was established in 1898 in Tervuren, Belgium.
Evidence: The Royal Museum for Central Africa or RMCA (Dutch: Koninklijk Museum voor Midden-Afrika or KMMA; French: Musée royal de l'Afrique centrale or MRAC; German: Königliches Museum für Zentralafrika or KMZA), colloquially known as the Africa Museum, is an ethnography and natural history museum situated in Tervuren in Flemish Brabant, Belgium, just outside Brussels. It was built to showcase King Leopold II's Congo Free State in the 1897 World Exhibition.

After considering other places, the king decided to have a temporary exhibition in his royal estate at Tervuren.
