    Hergé's sculpture near the museum was created by the artist Tom Frantzen. It was inaugurated on May 22, 2019.

    Hiking

    We find the most famous cartoonist in comics smiling, his cat on his shoulders, sitting on a pile of albums drawing. If you approach the statue, he smiles at you and you have the impression that he is drawing you.

    This statue is magnificent and it is not surprising because the sculptor who created it is far from being unknown in Brussels. It is in fact to Tom Frantzen that we owe the statues of Jacques Brel, Madame Chapeau and Zinneke which are so dear to our city center.
