Since 1953, the Association has assembled a remarkable collection of objects acquired through donations or purchases. These include: personal items that belonged to the Sovereigns and members of the Royal Family, uniforms, souvenirs from official travels, portraits, busts, medals and decorations, photographs and thousands of postcards. The collection is accessible to researchers and is regularly loaned to major exhibitions both in Belgium and abroad.
