Overview

During our guided tour, you will learn about the true importance of Belgian comics on the international scene, and which schools and authors have made their fame possible. You will learn about the "clear line" essential in French-Belgian comics and discover many of the murals dedicated to the 9th Art in the heart of Belgium. This tour is designed for people who know nothing about comics and those who are more familiar with this art. In addition to the murals, you will see Tintin's house (before he moved to the castle of Moulinsart) and the statue of The Smurfs hidden in plain sight. You will also discover new places in the center of Brussels that are not included in other guided tours, along with some of the stores where you can buy Belgian comics in your native language.
Come and enjoy the national comic world with Curiositas Mundus!
