- Brussels - As you might not know Belgium is not only famous for its waffles, beers and chocolate but also for being the cradle of the 9th Art : comics. Never heard of Tintin, The Smurfs, Lucky Luke, Astérix, … ? To commemorate the link between Belgium and comics, 50ish murals have been painted throughout Brussels since the 90’s.
So together we will discover Brussels’ center throughout the visit of some of those comics murals. I will give you some explanations on them and will answer your questions if you are curious on the subject. Of course there will be many other points of attention along the way like buildings, squares, and some street art.
Don’t expect to see all the comics murals (would require all day). It’s not a historical tour, others do that better than I could. The point of this experience is to discover a part of Belgian comics culture/history and to show you -through a selection of comics murals- some streets and neighborhoods you probably would not have visited on your own…
