The experience

Tintin, the Smurfs and 35 years of Belgian comic art, inside a Victor Horta building.

An entry ticket to the Comic Art Museum, honouring the creators and heroes of Belgian and European comics for 35 years — the country that gave the world Tintin, the Smurfs and dozens of other characters that shaped what is often called the Ninth Art.

The museum itself occupies an Art Nouveau home designed by Victor Horta, and the ticket includes original drawings, temporary exhibitions and access to the comics library reading room.
