I thought this museum was interesting. There's not really anything on Tintin (I think there's a Herge museum outside the city), but interesting exhibits on the Smurfs, the history of comics and how comics are made. I enjoyed it. The building is beautiful and there is a great bookstore. It's free to go in the first floor and see the building and go to the bookstore. The museum is on the top two floors.

The comic art museum is a museum held in Brussels that showcases many different comics style arts including the formation of the Smurfs. I really enjoyed the Smurfs section which included the original formation of the animated Smurfs and it also presented information about the animated Smurf movies in the USA. It was enjoyable to see the history of the Smurfs and the little models of them were really cute to look at. I really liked the idea of having different artists being separated into different sections which allowed a smoother experience of viewing. I also loved that they exhibited the development of creating comics and animation while also displaying the history of some areas. The artwork was amazing. It allowed me to learn a lot more about animation and comics. I found the general experience very interesting and important to the development of my knowledge of animation and art.

This was an interesting place. Many neat exhibits and a great gift shop. I was running late and didn't get to spend as much time there as I would have liked so make sure you get there and not feel rushed. I posted three photos from the museum and they allow you to take photos. The fact that Monks at one time used what is similar to today's comic format was especially interesting.

Really cool to learn how many different comic strips originated from Belgium. Unfortunately not lots of tintin comics, although they do focus on the offices where this was published. As a non french speaker I felt less able to enjoy the comics on display, but did enjoy the exhibitions of different comics and how the artwork is put together. Maybe they could somehow show English translation for the comics on display in the future? Large shop with modest English section. Definitely still worth a visit and was glad to see they do student prices!

We came as a family with 2 children under 10 who don't speak French. I'd say it's probably a very interesting museum if you speak French or you're older and deep into comics, but it's not worth your time if your kids like a bit of Tintin or Asterix and Obelix etc and think there might be something for them here. They did enjoy the library on the ground floor for 15 minutes, which was also peaceful (I have left 4 stars so as not to impact the overall rating as that would be unfair)
