WEEKLY WINNERS


More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

Last week I published pictures of the African Museum in Brussels from outside.

There were wooden elephants exposed in the parc

And here is what I saw inside

Wild stuffed animals. The museum is very old and in the beginning of 1900 there were no tourists in Africa to see them alive.

and statues.

Of course there was a lot more.

  4. What a great way to have an exotic travel experience in your own home area. I have to admit the elephants do take the prize however...they are so cool, and I love elephants in general.

  7. Love the elephants too! And african art in general. I have an elephant sculpture at home I had received by my grand father. Quand je pense que ses défenses sont en ivoire!!! Heureusement les éléphants sont un peu plus protégés maintenant.
