Hergé, pen name for Georges Remi, was a Belgian cartoonist, best known for his series of comic albums “The Adventures of Tintin”.
The Hergé Museum in Louvain-la-Neuve invites you on a journey through the life of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, offering a comprehensive perspective via thousands of sources from and related to the work of Hergé.
The museum building itself was designed and built within the picturesque green setting of Louvain-la-Neuve, by the architect Christian de Portzamparc: a little like a Grail hidden within a sacred grove!
Hergé was not only Tintin. Graphic designer, caricaturist, cartoonist, illustrator, storyteller - he was a multi-talented artist who was a perfect reflection of the twentieth century.
