The elevator takes you to Level 3.
This is the start of a fabulous journey that will take you through four galleries to discover a major work in the history of comic books. Then, via a clever network of walkways and staircases, you’ll reach the other four galleries showcasing every facet of this great artistic adventure.
Enjoy your visit!

Room 1: A Life’s Journey
Twenty-two panels and four display cases summarize the life of an artist dedicated to a monumental body of work of astonishing variety. Along the way, take a detour to explore the passions of a man who waged his quiet revolution in the world of comic panels and speech bubbles.

Room 2: Multiple Creations
Hergé was much more than just a comic book author. He masterfully explored many genres, each in a style all his own. Today, he leaves us a visual legacy of surprising diversity. Discover an artist in his own right…

Room 3: A Family on Paper
. Iconic characters from *The Adventures of Tintin*. Their first appearance, origins, personality traits, physical appearance, and distinctive features, with insightful commentary from 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. Profound and recurring, it sometimes appears sensible and rational, in its most Cartesian form, while at other times it takes on the mysterious guise of the paranormal, in the grand tradition of fantastical fiction. Science and fiction go hand in hand, and when humor and daring come into play, it’s a real treat!

Room 6: Dreams of Travel
An invitation to travel, a visa to a world without borders, at the gates of knowledge and great civilizations. Hergé takes us into his “Imaginary Museum”, never far from humanity, with respect for the peoples and continents encountered.

Room 7: Hergé Studios
, 21 years… For 21 years, Hergé served as the one-man band. Alone at the helm—or nearly so—he steered a heavily laden vessel. But sailing solo eventually took its toll on the artist. The creation of Hergé Studios would be the solution—a solution that transformed the cartoonist into a business leader.

Room 8: The Legacy of Hergé
On March 3, 1983, Georges Remi, alias Hergé, passed away. A deep sense of sadness swept through the media in many countries, and several generations of Tintin readers suddenly felt as though something had shifted in the world of comic panels and speech bubbles. But as history has taught us, great artists never die…
