The Hergé museum celebrates Tintin

The title of this news item is the same title that Andre Muller, of the Financial Times, gave to an article he published on 29 and 30 August.

Among other positive and insightful comments, he wrote: "To describe Hergé as a cartoonist would be to describe Beethoven's Ninth as a tune: technically correct, but parsimonious with important detail... The Hergé Museum is clearly intended as a shrine to the life and works of a serious, influential artist. Which is as it should be."

Have you already had the opportunity to visit the Hergé Museum? On 20 October, a new temporary exhibition is being launched: Chang - Hergé: Two Artists' Journeys. This exhibition will be one of the highlights of Europalia, a cultural event promoting China in the most important Belgian museums.
