All texts in the museum are in French, Dutch and partly in English. A guidebook with a translation of the texts is at the disposal of all foreign visitors. Its use is included in the entrance fee. This guidebook exists in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese.
In the reading room (access included in the ticket) a selection of albums in over 15 European languages can be read.
At a time when Belgium is holding the presidency of the European Union, the Belgian Comic Centre is delighting the general public with an exceptional selection of original comic strips extracted from so many major works produced by European comic strip artists and writers in the last one hundred years.
This exhibition, initiated by Isabelle, André Franquin’s daughter, and with the support of the artist Frédéric Jannin is neither an exhaustive record nor an informative account of La Bande des Quatre. Rather, it is a declaration of love.
Tove Jansson’s Dreamworld
Popularised around the world through comic strips, the Moomin series is above all a rich and sensitive body of comic strip work, created by Tove Jansson (1914-2001), an essential Finnish illustrator and author.
