The AfricaMuseum is a former Belgian colonial museum which reopened in December 2018 after an extensive renovation. The museum's collections represent a significant heritage out of Africa that is missing in the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi. To enable source communities and artists to access these collections is now part of the museum s mission. The transfer of curatorial authority to curators who are directly concerned with the collections is also discussed. This paper demonstrates that decoloniality is a process and that it involves, to the source communities, a sense of belonging. Cultural heritage will be discussed as a potential relational tool for such a belonging. In addition, the part played by the source communities in the process of a museum s transformation and the role of contemporary art and artists will also be considered herein.
