Brussels Attractions
Tintin
Belgian Centre of Comic Strip Art
Belgium's love of wacky humour and comic book art come together
in this wonderful museum housed in a fabulous Art Nouveau building
designed by Victor Horta. You'll see plenty of its most famous
subject, Hergé's Tintin
, as well as the
Smurfs and art from over 670 cartoonists. This is a temple to
cartooning, now considered an art form worthy of serious
consideration, and so the museum aims to trace the history and
development of the discipline rather than to entertain.
