Introduction

Belgium is a cartoon kingdom, home to many famous cartoon characters such as Tintin and the Smurfs. In Brussels, there is a world-renowned comic museum called the Comics Art Museum, designed and built by the architectural master Victor Horta. It is located on a rather inconspicuous street. Since its opening in 1989, the museum has attracted over 200,000 visitors. The museum showcases works by over 670 cartoonists, including well-known characters like Tintin and the Smurfs. In addition, there is a delightful library and bookstore, as well as a cozy museum restaurant, which is an ideal place for tourists to rest and relax. For those who want to explore Brussels' life through cartoon works, the Comics Art Museum is a must-visit attraction.
