One of the reasons I wanted to visit Brussels was this place. But honestly, it wasn’t what I had imagined. The ticket was quite expensive for such a small museum. The interior was nice, but the price definitely wasn’t worth it for such a small space.

I checked the times before going and this time managed to enter the museum that was well worth the wait. The building to start with is a splendid example of the art nouveau factory that it was. The comic collection and history is dense and full of examples from the Belguim tradition of comic books.

It’s a good place to visit once—one time is enough to...

Would defi...
