To celebrate the bicentenary of Livingstone’s birth, the King Baudouin Foundation’s Heritage Fund and the Musée Royal de l’Afrique Centrale have joined forces to re-create the extraordinary meeting of Livingstone and Stanley. From 6/6/13 to 11/11/2013 at the BELvue Museum, Brussels.
This work from the Fonds Léon Courtin – Marcelle Bouché Fund collection is being exhibited until 28 July 2013 as part of the exhibition Frans Hals. Oog in oog met Rembrandt, Rubens en Titiaan (Frans Hals. Eye to eye with Rembrandt, Rubens and Titian).
The Léon Courtin-Marcelle Bouché Fund, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation, has purchased two remarkable 18th century cabaret trays in Tournai porcelain. The oval trays were used to present a small coffee or tea service for one or two people.
