Far-East Museum
Brief description
Source : Tito Dupret / WHTour.org
This exotic complex is amongst the last architectural achievement that king Leopold II (1835-1909) has financed in Brussels. Only the outside looks Asian but in order to stick to authenticity, some of the work was executed in Yokohama or Tokyo (for the Japanese Tower), or in Shanghai (for the Chinese pavilion). This place shows the fascination of Europeans for the Far-East in the beginning of the 20th century.
