Tintin and Herge Finally Get a Museum!!!

herge-museum

The Hergé Museum has officially opened in Louvain-la-Neuve, a small town near Brussels, Belgium. The museum is dedicated to the work of Hergé (Georges Remi), who created the Tintin comic-books.
The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Milou (Snowy in English).
The first adventure was published in 1929. Over 200 million copies have been sold worldwide. Even today Tintin and Snowy are making waves in recently translated Chinese copies in Asia.

Unfortunately the masterful Hergé passed away in 1983 but thanks to the new Hergé Museum in Brussels, its not too late to pay hommage to his work.
This museum is best seen at nightfall or under grey skies, says its architect, Christian de Portzamparc.
I’m a huge Tintin fan and I have one word to say: BRAVO!
