Musée Hergé

The Musée Hergé is a comic art museum in Louvain-la-Neuve dedicated to the works of a legendary comic creator. It houses original artwork, photographs, and personal items arranged across several interior spaces that tell the story of this artist's career.

The artist Georges Remi began creating comics in the 1920s and produced a series that became a worldwide phenomenon. His work shaped European comic art and made him one of the most influential figures in the medium.

The museum displays works that reveal how European comics developed and found their voice over time. These pieces show a drawing style that became known across the continent and influenced many artists who followed.

The museum is open on weekdays and weekends for visitors and offers guided tours and information materials. Visitors should prepare for a self-guided exploration where they can move through exhibitions at their own pace.

The building itself was designed by a prominent architect and has a distinctive shape resembling a ship. The windows and openings allow light to enter in a special way, creating different moods throughout the day.
