History
The museum brings comic art into a former department-store building designed by Victor Horta. Its combination of illustration and architecture connects a popular visual medium with Brussels’ wider artistic heritage and changing urban life.
Why Visit
Choose this if you want to understand the making of comics as well as recognise familiar characters. It suits adults and older children who enjoy looking at drawings and following explanations rather than expecting an amusement attraction.
Tickets & Entry Options
The selected product is admission to the Comic Art Museum. Check the dated exhibition coverage on the issued ticket. It is not a guided city walk, drawing workshop or guaranteed meeting with a comic artist; those are separate activities.
| Option | Includes | Know before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewed option (opens in a new tab) | Museum entry, permanent and temporary exhibitions, reading area and AR app | Live guide excluded; online booking does not provide queue bypass. |
Ticket Price
Use the current price for your visitor category and compare museum admission with museum admission. A workshop, a guided mural walk or a city pass has a different scope; reduced categories may require supporting identification.
Opening Hours
The regular schedule is Tuesday–Sunday 10:00–18:00, last admission 17:00, with Monday and holiday exceptions. Christmas and New Year closures apply; read the date-specific calendar before fixing your itinerary.
How to Get There
Head to Rue des Sables 20, allowing time for a walk from the central Brussels transport network. Confirm the museum’s full name and address, since other comic-related venues and murals are spread around the city.
Highlights
Notice how panels create movement, pacing and humour, then look up at the building’s architectural details. Permanent interpretation and changing exhibitions provide different ways to approach the art without requiring knowledge of every Belgian character.
Tips
Museum interpretation is available in French, Dutch and English. Online tickets do not provide a fast lane: allow time for reception staff to scan the booking and follow current room and photography notices.
Average Time
Allow around one and a half to two hours, depending on how closely you read the exhibitions. Leave extra time if you want to browse the bookshop or return to favourite drawings.
Winter Tips
This is an indoor option for wet Brussels days. Check Monday and festive opening arrangements, and keep a waterproof layer for the walk between the museum and your next city-centre stop.
