Brussels in all its splendor in 1908 in color! [AI enhanced & colorized]

This film shows the Belgian capital Brussels in color as it was more than a century ago in 1908.

At the time Leopold II was still King of Belgium.

He died one year later on 17 December 1909.

Many well-known parts of Brussels pass by the camera man's lens like the famous Stock exchange, The Jubelpark, the town hall on the Grote Markt, the cathedral, the Kings Palace, the huge building of the Palace of Justice, the woods surrounding Brussels and much more.

The film ends with a tram ride into the woods to the Musée Colonial de Tervueren, i.e.

The Royal Museum for Central Africa at Tervueren.

It was built to showcase King Leopold II's Congo Free State in the International Exposition of 1897 [Wikipedia].

This tram line still exists: Tram 44.
