Comics Art Museum - by Alexandre Caels on Google
Description
The Comics Art Museum (Centre belge de la Bande dessinée) is dedicated to Belgian comic books with a focus on the historical aspects as well as the creative process, on Hergé and Tintin, Peyo and the Smurfs, and the magazine Spirou. There is also a room dedicated to animation and merchandising. The museum is housed in an Art Nouveau building designed by Victor Horta.

The museum is 200m north of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula and a 10mins walk from the Grand-Place. The Congrès train station (S1) is next door Recommended parking is City Parking on Boulevard Pacheco and the Botanique metro (2, 6) and tram station (92, 93) is only 150m away.

Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with either the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula or the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert
Environmental & Social
Small carbon footprint from electricity consumption and helps preserve the country's artisic heritage.
Conclusion
The country has left a clear mark in the history of comic strips, but we feel that the Comics Art Museum is not quite up to the mark despite its hefty entrance price (by European standards). Best for fans of Bande Dessinée and those who have already seen the highlights of Brussels.
