Journey back to 1989. The Belgian Comic Strip Center opened its doors, a beacon for comic enthusiasts. This Art Nouveau masterpiece, designed by Victor Horta, wasn’t always a museum. It once housed the Magasins Waucquez, a textile department store. The Belgian Comic Strip Center stands as a testament to Belgium’s rich comic heritage. It celebrates the birthplace of iconic characters like Tintin, The Smurfs, and Lucky Luke. Inside, over 6,000 original comics await, rescued from oblivion. The permanent exhibition, “The Museum of Imagination,” chronicles the history of Belgian comics. It begins with Hergé and ends with Peyo, highlighting the pioneers from 1929 to 1958. Don’t miss the rooms dedicated to Spirou and Tintin magazines. Each artist showcased, from Hergé to Peyo, has a dedicated room, each designed in a playful, immersive way. The Belgian Comic Strip Center is more than a museum. It’s a living tribute to the Ninth Art.
