About
Rýchle fakty: Step into rooms awash with bold colors and life-size cartoon scenes, where original sketches and interactive displays make the creative process feel hands-on. Hidden gems include rare original pages and behind-the-scenes notes from famous European cartoonists, so you can spot penciled corrections and tiny details that usually never make it to print.
Zaujímavosti: You climb Victor Horta's curved Art Nouveau staircase, built in 1905–1906, and suddenly you're surrounded by giant cartoon panels that make you feel like you're walking through a page. Original Hergé drawings from the 1940s hang under the restored glass skylight, their pencil marks and faint varnish visible up close, so quiet visitors often lean in and whisper as if sharing a comic-book secret.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, museum spans several floors and the Art Nouveau staircase is steep.
- Take photos of the grand Horta staircase and facade mosaics, but avoid flash near original pages.
- Check the temporary exhibition room for rotating original artwork, it can be quieter than the permanent galleries.
- Buy albums or prints at the museum shop for souvenirs, and bring a student card to claim discounts.
