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.
