83 “I would even say more...”: Hergé’s urban landscapes, told by Thomson and Thompson

[Art in public spaces]

A guide and an actor form a playful duo for a light-hearted yet well-informed walk through the places and urban landscapes that inspired Hergé’s work. With these two learned Thompsons, Brussels becomes an open-air comic strip. From the murals at Gare du Midi to those in Stockel metro station, from the Marolles to Place de Theux, from Rue de l’Étuve to Luxembourg station, and from the Grand Sablon to the Galeries du Roi, the walk looks with humour at panoramas, murals, façades, streets, squares, stations and, one might even say, the architectural styles and landmark buildings of Brussels heritage that helped shape Tintin’s adventures. A cheerful walk on foot and by metro, with a refreshing pause to leaf through the albums and rediscover the Brussels landscape as Hergé drew it.

The transport ticket is included.
