The Belgian Comic Strip Center is a must-visit for fans of comics and architecture alike. Housed in a former textile warehouse designed by Victor Horta, the building itself is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau. The museum traces the history of Belgian comics from the 19th century to the present, with a special focus on iconic series like Tintin, The Smurfs, and Lucky Luke. Visitors can explore original artwork, learn about the creative process, and see life-sized models of characters. The permanent exhibition is complemented by temporary shows. The museum's bright, airy interior and the beautiful glass roof make it a pleasant space to spend a few hours. A gift shop and a comic-focused bookstore are on-site.
