Unrivalled Art. Spellbinding Artefacts at the Royal Museum for Central Africa
This book, which is being published to mark the opening of the museum, unveils an ensemble of 77 important works from the collection held by the Royal Museum for Central Africa. A range of academics, conservators, and experts on African art provides an examination and analysis of each of these pieces. Many of the works brought together here can be found in the gallery assigned to the temporary exhibition Unrivalled Art. Others can be encountered in the rooms devoted to the permanent exhibition. And some of the works afford a glimpse behind the scenes at the RMCA, in the hushed atmosphere of the depots, about which the general public is largely unaware. Researcher and curator Julien Volper has selected pieces that come not only from the Congo, but also from other countries, such as Angola or Gabon. Sometimes they are physical testaments to lost cultures dating from the eighth to tenth century, or even dating to tens of thousands of years ago! However, most of the works belong to the more recent period of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. All of these masks, statuettes, ivories, weapons, receptacles and other artefacts express a genuine creativity – a creativity described so aptly in 1919 by the theorist Vladimir Markov: ‘[.] this [African] art is unrivalled anywhere else in the world.’

Unvergleichliche Kunst. Faszinierende Meisterwerke aus dem Königlichen Museum für Zentralafrika
Dieser Katalog erscheint anlässlich der Eröffnung des Königlichen Museums für Zentralafrika in Tervuren. Er zeigt 77 der wichtigsten Werke des Museums. Wissen-schaftler, Konservatoren und Experten für afrikanische Kunst analysierten für diesen Katalog noch einmal einige dieser Meisterwerke. Viele dieser Glanzstücke sind in der Sonderausstellung Weergaloze Kunst (Unvergleich-liche Kunst) zu sehen, andere in der Dauerausstellung. Einige der Exponate ermöglichen einen Blick hinter die Kulissen des KMZA, in die stille Welt der Magazine, von deren Existenz der Besucher oft nichts weiß. Julien Volper, wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter und Konser-vator am KMZA, entschied sich für Meisterwerke aus dem Kongo und Angola und Gabun. Manche der Objekte sind aus dem 8. bis 10. Jahrhundert oder viel älter; die meisten stammen jedoch aus dem 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Sie sind die materiellen Zeugnisse verschwundener Kulturen. Aus diesen Masken, Figuren, Elfenbeinschnitzereien, Waffen, Behältnissen und anderen Artefakten spricht eine Kreati-vität, die der Theoretiker Vladimir Markov 1919 so treffend mit den Worten beschrieb: „[…] zur afrikanischen Kunst gibt es in der ganzen Welt nichts Vergleichbares.“

The Making of. The Renovation of the Royal Museum of Central Africa
This ‘Making of’ photo album brings to life the story of how the Royal Museum for Central Africa was renovated. A wealth of photographs provides readers with a unique picture of the compre-hensive renovations to the 1910 building and its architectural metamorphosis. The museum was not only in urgent physical need of restoration, but also required a thorough transformation to turn it into a museum suitable for the 21st century. Photographs taken before, during and after renovation bear testament to that long and complex process. In addition to the splendid photographs, the book also contains a series of interviews of the most important parties involved, highlighting in each one a different aspect of this unique enterprise. In fourteen interviews, the various actors involved in the museum’s renovation are given the opportunity to speak: they include the clients, the architect, the contractors, the scenographers, the restoration specialists and members of staff. A journey through time and space: the fascinating making of the AfricaMuseum in Tervuren.
