A century of Belgian comics
As of 5 October 2024.
Au milieu du XXe siècle, la Belgique s’impose en Europe comme le pays phare de la bande dessinée par l’inventivité de ses artistes et le dynamisme du monde éditorial. Pour conquérir le lectorat populaire, les personnages nés dans la presse sont rapidement sortis des frontières et des cases. Découvrez les secrets de cette success-story dans "Un siècle de BD belge".
In the mid-20th century, thanks to the inventiveness of its creators and the dynamism of its publishers, Belgium became the European leader in comic book publishing. To reach a wide readership, characters that were born in periodicals quickly crossed borders and expanded beyond frames. Discover the secrets of this success-story in "A Century of Belgian Comics".
Horta and the Waucquez Warehouse
It is the story of a shop unlike anything built nowadays. Over 100 years old, it is the last semi-industrial building designed by Victor Horta that is still in existence! Discover everything about Victor Horta and the Waucquez Warehouse in this new exhibition, down in the entrance hall.
The Invention of Comic Strip
How did the comic strip begin, and how is it defined? This exhibition takes you on a journey in enormous strides through the history of the world and its civilisations.
The Art of Comic Strip
This exposition proposes to explore the comic strip in all its forms, from the creative process to the range of genres that constitute the European comic strip today.
Pieter De Poortere Auditorium
For many years now, Dickie has been a favourite with magazines, which regularly publish his gags on a caption-free page drawn by his creator, Pieter De Poortere. The character was subsequently adopted by the screen, and short cartoons of his adventures can now be viewed at the Belgian Comic Strip Museum.
