Comics Art Museum Brussels
The Comics Art Museum, housed in the Belgian Comic Strip Center, occupies a magnificent Art Nouveau building designed by Victor Horta in the heart of Brussels. The museum tells the history of the Belgian comic strip, from Tintin and Spike and Suzy to modern graphic authors. Original drawings, set reconstructions and interactive modules bring the Ninth Art to life.
The museum is barrier-free thanks to a ramped entrance at the main door and a lift connecting all floors. The halls are spacious with smooth flooring. Accessible toilets are available on the ground floor. In recent years the museum has made additional efforts for accessibility, including audio guides and adapted information for visitors with visual impairments.
There is no on-site car park, but the public Albertine car park, just a few minutes wheelchair distance away, has disabled parking spaces and a barrier-free route to the museum. The Brussels-Central and Brussels-Congres train stations are within walking distance. The Comics Art Museum is a must for comic fans and anyone wishing to discover Brussels heritage in an accessible setting.
