Comic Art Museum

Belgium treats comics as an art form, and this museum is the main place where that shows. It sits in a building by Victor Horta, built as a textile warehouse and now one of the best known Art Nouveau interiors in the city. The permanent exhibitions follow how the comic strip was invented and then how it is drawn, and a further room covers a century of Belgian comics. Allow a little under two hours at a normal pace.

What to look for

• The Horta building and its iron and glass hall
• The exhibition on how the comic strip was invented
• The room on the art of comic strip
• The comic strip library
