This is the Kingdom of the Smurfs, Tintin, Lucky Luke, Spirou, Gaston Lagaffe, Spike and Suzy and plenty of other paper heroes! One of the major Brussels tourist attractions and a superb example of Art Nouveau architecture, the Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art brings together everything related to the comic strip, from its prestigious beginnings to its most recent developments, over an area of more than 4,000 square metres: permanent and temporary exhibitions, library, documentation centre, bookshop, bar…
