Immediate boarding for a tour that begins on the upper floor of the museum.
The elevator takes you to level 3.
It’s the start of a fabulous journey that takes you through four rooms to discover a major work in the history of comic strip art. Then, via a subtle interplay of walkways and staircases, you’ll reach the other four rooms, presenting all the facets of a great artistic adventure.
Enjoy your visit!

Room 1: A life’s journey
22 frames? and four display cases summarise the life of an artist committed to a monumental body of work of astonishing variety. A detour through the passions of a man who led his quiet revolution in the land of vignettes and speech bubbles.

Room 2: Multiple creations
Hergé was much more than a comic-strip artist. He happily tamed many genres in a style that was uniquely his own. Today, he leaves us a surprisingly diverse graphic legacy. Discover an artist in his own right…

Room 3: A paper family
Key characters in The Adventures of Tintin. Appearance, origin(s), character traits, physical appearance and special features of each of them, with insightful commentary by their creator.

Room 4: Cinema
To write his stories, Hergé often drew inspiration from current events of the day. As for the staging of his stories, it owes much to the principles of the Seventh Art. Focus on a few outstanding examples of this dual influence.

Room 5: The laboratory
Hergé’s work also has a scientific dimension. Deep and recurrent, it sometimes appears wise and rational, in its most Cartesian form, while at other times it dons the troubled garb of the paranormal, in the great tradition of the marvellous novel. Science and fiction go hand in hand, and when humor and daring get involved, it’s a real treat!

Room 6: Travel dreams
An invitation to travel, a visa for a world without borders, at the gateway to knowledge and great civilisations. Hergé takes us on a journey through his “Museum of the imagination”, never far from the human element, respecting the peoples and continents he encounters.

Room 7: Studios Hergé
21 years old… For 21 years, Hergé was a one-man band. Almost alone at the helm, piloting a very heavily laden boat. But single-handed sailing eventually wore the artist out. The creation of Studios Hergé was the solution, a solution that transformed the artist into a business leader.

Room 8: The glory of Hergé
On March 3rd, 1983, Georges Remi, alias Hergé, passed away. The media in many countries were gripped by the blues, and several generations of Tintin readers suddenly had the impression that something had gone wrong in the realm of vignettes and speech bubbles. But as history has taught us, great artists never die…
