Bronze Adhemar laureate Judith Vanistendael (1974) is a true ambassador of comics and reaches a wide and international audience with her drawings. She always delivers socially relevant comics, always in a different style. Thus, it should not be a surprise that she is influencing the new generation of comics creators. Vanistendael is a master in creating the right atmosphere and scenography and each of her comic books can rightly be called a true piece of art. A piece of art that is carefully constructed, that gets under your skin, that alternates melancholy with lightheartedness, that touches and that is beautifully moving every time.

ODYSSEY is an exhibition that places the heritage work of Blake and Mortimer in its aesthetic, cultural and historical context with the purpose to be (re)discovered by the public in all its facets. Five themes run throughout the exhibition: A Modern Homer, The world, a theatre, The Ray of Death, Terra Incognita and The Eternal Return.  While walking by the original panels and documents, of course by E.P. Jacobs, but as well created by Etienne Schréder and Christian Cailleux, you discover how the famous album “The U Ray” is one of the missing links between American comics and the Franco-Belgian comic album.   Curator: Eric Dubois In cooperation with the E.P. Jacobs Foundation and Editions Blake & Mortimer

The second floor of our Comics Art Museum brings the old Waucquez warehouse back to life. From 8 September 2023, this floor will host an exhibition celebrating 77 years of publishing house Le Lombard, in a brand new setting. Designed as a large furniture showroom, the exhibition presents 77 years of family comics. You will discover the origins of Le Lombard, its mythology, its pioneers, its poster boys, its frontiersmen and mavericks. Room by room you will discover the extraordinary richness of a catalogue first built around the legendary magazine Tintin and the graphic style so dear to Hergé, and then reinvented as society and the publishing world evolved. The exhibition offers a playful and inventive look, with never-before-seen documents, images, archives, projections and beautiful originals hidden in fake furniture. Curator: Thierry Bellefroid With the support of the Brussels Capital Region, the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and the National Lottery and its players

Since the Belgian Comic Art Museum moved into one of Victor Horta's architectural beauties, it brings together Art Nouveau and Ninth Art. So, as Brussels celebrates its Art Nouveau, the Comic Museum is delighted to present a new exhibition highlighting the richness of the theme and the inventiveness of the artists. Besides simply representing Art Nouveau in comics, the exhibition will highlight, in an original way, the relationship between the two arts. The exhibition will invite visitors to immerse themselves in the period of Art Nouveau, its influences and its main authors (such as Alphonse Mucha, for example) who inspired the Ninth Art. A selection of plates and reproductions will allow visitors to (re)discover the work of some Franco-Belgian authors who were inspired by Art Nouveau to create works in its image: strong, rhythmic, colourful and with exceptional creative freedom...
