Marc Sleen Museum, Comics museum in Zandstraat, Brussels, Belgium.
The Marc Sleen Museum displays over 15,000 original drawings and artworks created by Belgian comic artist Marc Sleen and his famous character Nero. The collection includes sketches, manuscripts, and published works that document different phases of his artistic career.
Belgian artist Marc Sleen worked from the 1950s through the 2000s and created one of Belgium's most popular comic series. The museum opened in 2009 to preserve his artistic legacy for future generations.
The artist created his most famous character Nero, who accompanied Belgian readers over many decades and shaped how comics were told in the country. His works show how a single artist can influence the visual language of an entire nation.
The museum sits near the Belgian Comic Strip Center and opens Tuesday through Sunday. Visitors should allow plenty of time to explore the extensive collection comfortably.
The artist also worked as an illustrator and writer on projects beyond his most famous series. This broader side of his work is less known but well documented in the museum.
