I love me some street art, and in Brussels, it is unique. Belgium has a long tradition of comic book art, and this is reflected in the murals featuring Tintin and other European cartoon characters.

There is actually a big Museum of Comics, but we skipped that in favor of the smaller Museum of Original Figurines (MOOF). I am not a big comic book fan, but the museum is well-done, and seeing original sketches of Asterix comics was kind of fun. My son used to love Asterix, so that one I know!

Unfortunately, the Smurfs song was playing in the background on endless repeat in one section. Really glad my kids never latched onto that particular craze <shudder>.

Tintin and the bad guy.

No idea who this is.

At a gay bar–pretty cute

Another character I don’t know

Soulful street art: this guy was really good!

Older street art.

The evil blue ones

Asterix and Obelix

I really have no idea what kind of comic book this might be…

Sketches of Picts from Asterix

A whole draft page from Asterix

A whiteboard at the end has sketches by lots of the artists featured in the museum
