Did you know that Belgium has more comic book artists per square km than any other country in the world, even Japan? Nowhere else comics are so strongly rooted in reality and in people's imagination.

Furiousmate

Nice museum for understanding comics though most of them are about European comics . Their souvenir collections include quite a lot of Tin Tin and Smurf stuff, you'll find a reason to spend some money

Rickard Jonsson

They have over 1500 sqm filled with comics . The gift shop is extensive and they cover books in several languages and they also do a combination ticket with the Marc Sleen museum across the road .

Thomas Hitchen

Great place taking you through the history of comic books … The Naruto exhibit was a personal highlight and has made me want to start reading this Manga series ????

Aaron G

Fantastic museum about some of the top Belgian comics ever created. Highly recommended for all comic book fans.

The bulding by Victor Horta is worth the visit in itself. The museum also offers an extensive comic book library .

Arzu Akar

You can spend just one hour in this museum . History and progress of comics is explained. I was expecting better and richer museum

P C

How comic strip are made and the different artists . Awesome gift shop below.

Arthur O

The museum is Ok, the Victor Horta building is the real star. Excellent 'menu du jour' in the Horta Brasserie (13,95 euro).

Dougal Matthews

Interesting! The upper floors are not all in English but you can understand enough to get by or they will give you a folder with translations which is hard to follow.

Yesve Deendso

Well-designed museum . The building is amazing. Built by Horta.

DHR.com

Go to this Comic Street Center to explore Belguim's contribution to the art of making comics . Most notable is the exhibitions of Tintin and Snowy by Herge!

Shavish Sh

A heaven for comic lovers . A Must see.

Mikita Lauretski

An exposition is based mostly on french and belgian comics for children. No adult european comic artists like Jimenez, Moebius or Bilal. Nothing at all about american and japanese comics . Rather no.

Emily

A truly unique museum experience!

Tunke Lauriks

The making-off exposition is worth a visit! The building of Horta is so pretty...

Filippo Fibbia

If you like comics , it's a kind of heaven

Bjørn M

The museum is now open every day. Don't let the guidebooks fool you!

Christoffer Falck-Johansen

Nostalgic, visit the shop after your walkabout in the museum

Jared Klett

There are few English translations. Mostly just French and German. But then, it's comic strips and artwork after all!

Isabel Oliveira

Revive to the enfance. Fantastic musée

Fedor Muhosranskiy

For comix theme fans and not only

Alex Dobyan

It's probably best for aficionados - it's a bit too much for casuals .

Arthur Mitchell

A case of curation gone crazy. Their app didn't work... Maybe it does, but no instructions. KISS Keep It Simple St...d

It's OK. Mostly in French. Obviously come for the shop.

Tom P

Museum is great but the staff at the 'Horta' restaurant seem to have had a charisma bypass operation. Extremely rude!

Judy Ang

There is free wifi here!

Ádám Takács

Smurfs ! :)

Clement H.

Not that great. It's not worth the 10€ entrance
