More information on Belgisch Centrum van het Beeldverhaal
Housed in the artistic setting of the Waucquez Warehouses, built in 1906 for a local businessman by Victor Horta, two of Belgium’s specialties go hand-in-hand: Art Nouveau and comics. There is a fascinating permanent exhibition featuring comics from more than 650 artists. When WWII ended, many comic artists emerged, most notable was Hergé who was best known for his comic strip, Tintin. The popularity of the comics was stapled into the Belgian culture, becoming the so-called "9th Art". There are also regular temporary exhibitions. In this museum you will find various history, drawings, and three-dimensional recreations that will surely be a fun day out for the whole family. To round out your visit, there is a great comic strip shop, a wonderful café and the largest library of comic strips in the world.
