The Congo, I presume ...

Took the sons to Tervuren to see the park there and the Africa Museum.
Remember the Bandundu Water Jazz Band? The same artist , Tom Frantzen, made this sculpture in the park surrounding the Africa Museum as well. An explanation of what it represents can be found here. The title of the art piece refers to the words of the explorer Stanley when he first met with the Scottish missionary and explorer Livingstone in the Congo : "Dr Livingstone, I presume?"
From this side you can't see the bust of King Leopold II, which is situated in front, nor the lion which is placed on the other side of the piece.
