In the mid-20th century, thanks to the inventiveness of its creators and the dynamism of its publishers, Belgium became the European leader in comic book publishing. To reach a wide readership, characters that were born in periodicals quickly crossed borders and expanded beyond frames. Merchandising, advertising, animated films, cinema, radio, television, video games and more, helped the heroes "made in Belgium" take root in the collective imagination, span generations, and even make their way to Hollywood. The exhibition A Century of Belgian Comics reveals the secrets of this epic journey in an immersive, poetic, and all-ages exhibition.

Thanks to his powers, Mister Invincible never forgets to fetch bread for his grandma at noon. Oh, and he saves the world too, sometimes. How does he pull it off? By being invincible, of course! Mister Invincible is aware that he is in a comic book. As such, he can manipulate the medium’s rules. As a versatile medium, comic books allow artists to play with storytelling, visuals, and established conventions. Among the many artistic experiments, "metacomics" stand out as a captivating form, pushing the boundaries of traditional comics. An immersive and playful exhibition for young and old that invites you to play around with the codes of comic art.

Asterix celebrates his 65th birthday, which calls for a proper celebration! Therefore, for this occasion, the little dog Dogmatix gets his own exhibition for the first time. Retrospective and playful, those are the two key words to describe this exhibition. Visitors can discover how the character Dogmatix developed over the course of the albums, from his first appearance in Asterix and the Banquet to his own animated series Dogmatix and the Indomitables. From a little dog with no name passing in an album to Obelix's indispensable, loyal companion, Dogmatix emerged as an endearing hero and conquered so many hearts. Delve into the story of Dogmatix with archive documents, original records and so much more. A chance to discover this delightful universe as a family, ideal also for the little ones with custom-designed games. With Dogmatix and his friends, the Comic Art Museum celebrates the humour, friendship and universal values of a cult series, to be enjoyed to the full! In collaboration with publisher Albert René and the Institut René Goscinny.

At a time when journalism is constantly running faster behind the facts, the documentary comic feels more at home in slow journalism. Far away from the cameras, committed comics creators document the everyday lives of ordinary people, take their time to record complex stories, and leave room for humanity in the eye of ecological, social or political storms.
