Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art
- Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art
The Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art (Dutch: "Belgisch Centrum voor het Beeldverhaal", french "Centre belge de la Bande dessinée") chronicles the history of Belgian comics. Housed in a former department store in Brussels' business district, it exhibits examples of comic strips in French, Dutch and English.
The full range of comic art is covered, including science fiction, wild west, crime and politics as well as children's comics such as "The Smurfs".
It has several exhibits on Belgium's most famous comic characters Tintin and Snowy and their creator Hergé. The style of the "Tintin" comics and their history is examined with example work, as well as lifesize models of characters and sets from Tintin's adventures.
There is a shop, research library and restaurant on the ground floor of the historic building, which was designed by the Belgian art nouveau architect Victor Horta.
