The Hergé Museum – Tintin gets his own home!
The museum dedicated to the great master of "la bande dessinée" himself, Hergé.
Situated thirty kilometres south east of Brussels, in the modern new town of Louvain-la-Neuve, the Hergé Museum is now opened since 22nd May 2009, the anniversary of the birth of the creator of Tintin.
A well-known architect was chosen to bring the industrious plans to fruition: Christian de Portzamparc. He has used all his skills in building design to integrate the principals of Hergé’s work, superbly highlighting the unique features of the latter’s art, which led to his becoming the founder and master of the clear line technique.
The Hergé Museum will be available for private visits after hours for groups up to 300 people, visits with cocktail in the Patio will be possible for 220 participants and if the visit is followed by a walking dinner the number is limited to 180 people.
All requests to be send to the events coordinator on
