* The [[Royal Museum for Central Africa]] (RMCA), communicating under the name AfricaMuseum since 2018, is an [[ethnography|ethnographical]] and [[natural history]] [[museum]]. It focuses on the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo|Congo]], a former [[Belgian Congo|Belgian colony]]. The sphere of interest, however, especially in biological research, extends to the whole [[Congo Basin]], [[Central Africa]], [[East Africa]], and [[West Africa]]. Intended originally as a colonial museum, from 1960 onwards it has focused more on ethnography and [[anthropology]]. Some researchers have strong ties with the [[Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences]]. The museum is surrounded by gardens, with the biggest [[giant redwood]] in Flanders, and a large park with lakes. St Hubert Chapel is located at the west end of the park.
* Tervuren Library (Gemeentelijke Openbare Bibliotheek Tervuren - GOBT) is situated at ''Markt 7''. It contains around 43,300 printed documents, and 886 DVDs.

Reference: Article in January 2006 edition of ''Presence Francophone Carrefour en Peripherie Bruxelloise'').  However, due to Flemish regional language laws, at least 75% of the books must be in Flemish, even though the municipality contains almost 50% of speakers of other languages.-->
