Dear Ernie,
The museum was part of a parc with huge buildings destined to figure as exposition halls at the end of the 19th century by King Leopold II. He wanted the capital of Belgium look a bit like Paris. Therefore it has always been an exposition hall and I think that the Minestry of Defence is the owner. Somehow the exposition hall and even the aircrafts show a rather lack of money these days, although it is rich in all these fine aircrafts. All is done by volunteers. When you look at Jim’s photo’s of Paris and London you can quite see the difference. Thank you for stopping by my friend.
Kind regards
Patrick
