The French illustrator and cartoonist Aurélie Neyret has made of the world of childhood her creative universe. After numerous illustrated books and collective publications, she made her debut in comics alongside Joris Chamblain with the series Les Carnets de Cerise, the success of which brought her recognition from the public as well as from critics. This was followed by the adventures of Lulu and Nelson, a story written by Charlotte Girard and Jean-Marie Omont. With a dynamic and colourful style, the illustrator presents endearing young heroes in search of themselves and of freedom. A sensitive and original universe that the exhibition proposes to explore and discover all its depth and creativity.

Little Furry wakes up every morning and hurries to the toilet which is far too big for him. He then hurriedly tucks into his breakfast, gives his mummy a kiss, and then briskly walks to school. To school? There is nothing more uncertain, as adventure awaits him on the corner of the street. This unchanging pattern, with different variations each time, is the invention of comic artist Pierre Bailly and scriptwriter Céline Fraipont, who have created a completely wordless comic book accessible to children from the age of 3. Highly colourful, this playful exhibition invites children to climb, jump, hide and crawl, from one panel to the next, immersing themselves in a different adventure each time, just like Little Furry.

Bronze Adhemar laureate Judith Vanistendael (1974) is a true ambassador of comics and reaches a wide and international audience with her drawings. She always delivers socially relevant comics, always in a different style. Thus, it should not be a surprise that she is influencing the new generation of comics creators. Vanistendael is a master in creating the right atmosphere and scenography and each of her comic books can rightly be called a true piece of art. A piece of art that is carefully constructed, that gets under your skin, that alternates melancholy with lightheartedness, that touches and that is beautifully moving every time.

ODYSSEY is an exhibition that places the heritage work of Blake and Mortimer in its aesthetic, cultural and historical context with the purpose to be (re)discovered by the public in all its facets. Five themes run throughout the exhibition: A Modern Homer, The world, a theatre, The Ray of Death, Terra Incognita and The Eternal Return. While walking by the original panels and documents, of course by E.P. Jacobs, but as well created by Etienne Schréder and Christian Cailleux, you discover how the famous album “The U Ray” is one of the missing links between American comics and the Franco-Belgian comic album. Curator: Eric Dubois In cooperation with the E.P. Jacobs Foundation and Editions Blake & Mortimer

In the summer of 2023, the Comic Art Museum is welcoming a very special project: "Draw for Change". The exhibition presents the work of six female artists - press cartoonists - from six different countries and the impact they’re making with their work. You embark on a journey with them and discover their country, the daily realities they are facing and how they visualize those in their artwork. The exhibition is based on a television series of the same name dedicated to these six artists whose drawings empower women and fight for gender equality and human rights. Artists: Amany Al-Ali (Syria, Idlib), Mar Maremoto (Mexico), Victoria Lomasko (Russia), Rachita Taneja (India), Ann Telnaes (US, to be confirmed), Doa El-Adl (Egypt). A cooperation with Blue Bird Docs. The documentary "Draw for change!" is a production of Clin d'Oeil Films.

Since the Belgian Comic Art Museum moved into one of Victor Horta's architectural beauties, it brings together Art Nouveau and Ninth Art. So, as Brussels celebrates its Art Nouveau, the Comic Museum is delighted to present a new exhibition highlighting the richness of the theme and the inventiveness of the artists. Besides simply representing Art Nouveau in comics, the exhibition will highlight, in an original way, the relationship between the two arts. The exhibition will invite visitors to immerse themselves in the period of Art Nouveau, its influences and its main authors (such as Alphonse Mucha, for example) who inspired the Ninth Art. A selection of plates and reproductions will allow visitors to (re)discover the work of some Franco-Belgian authors who were inspired by Art Nouveau to create works in its image: strong, rhythmic, colourful and with exceptional creative freedom...
