Brussels - Comic Museum Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée (Belgisch Centrum van het Beeldverhaal)

 
Housed in a building which is well worth seeing in its own right - the Maison Waucquez in the Rue de Sable (Zandstraat), a 1906 department store designed by Victor Horta - the diverting Comic Museum is one of Brussels' more unusual museums, being devoted to the art of the cartoon and the comic strip. On view is a constantly rotated exhibition of 200 original drawings by Belgian and French comic artists.

In addition the museum documents the rise in popularity of Belgian and French comic strips through its collection of original manuscripts, draft sketches, and imaginatively reconstructed sets - of which Gaston Lagaffe's office, Lucky Luke's saloon and Tim, Struppi and Captain Haddock's moon rocket are only three.
