Belgium | Must-Visit: The Fascinating Belgian Comic Strip Center 🎨📚

#summervacay Belgium, thanks to its strategic location, hosts many international organization headquarters and is often called the "Heart of Europe." While some travelers find its sights less thrilling online, Belgium holds unique charms—like the famous Belgian Comic Strip Center in Brussels. If you plan a trip to Brussels, definitely add this museum to your itinerary! Founded in 1989, the museum celebrates Belgium’s impressive comic culture—home to over 700 comic artists, a remarkable number given the country’s size. Long before the French New Wave or the rise of Japanese manga, Belgian comics dominated over 70% of the French market, becoming wildly popular across Francophone Europe. The museum aims to promote comics as the "Ninth Art" and is housed in a beautifully renovated Art Nouveau building, originally a textile warehouse designed by a renowned architect—symbolizing the rich cultural heritage. #belgium #brussels #comicstripcenter #comics #artnouveau #ninthart #traveleurope
