Hey fellow Belgians! We’re not talking about a building, but rather a special banner! This banner was hoisted on ships when King Leopold I was on board. It became part of our collection between 1910 and 1919 through the ‘Pontonniers’ Company (Genie) and likely dates back to at least June 15, 1858.
However, time has taken its toll: the pavilion is in poor condition and urgently needs restoration. As a result, it was recently removed from our displays for further research. Experts are currently working on ways to preserve this important piece of maritime heritage!
So stay tuned for more updates on the project and other insider news from the Royal Military Museum 👀
