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.

Must-see attractions nearby:
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.
