That is some challenge, but what city other than Brussels could take it up? A giant drawing board will be placed on the Brussels Market Square, a UNESCO world heritage site. Totally unheard of in Belgium. More than 500 m² of comic strips. The theme of this mega-board is still a secret, but is bound to dazzle!
The choice of this original board is focused on a famous comic strips creator from Brussels: Hergé. What is the board ? The mystery will stay whole until the discovery of this work on Thursday 7th May 2009 from 5:30 pm. Tintin and Brussels: an old friendship story
The friendship story between Tintin and Brussels starts exactly the 10th January 1929, in the pages of "Petit Vingtième", supplement of daily "Le Vingtième Siècle", today disappeared. With the adventures, we cross in the same time Brussels and the 20th century. 24 albums, from 1929 to 1976, constitute a magnificent testimony on Brussels, its places and its people. That's not for nothing if Tintin was elected "symbol N°1" of Brussels by a group of 1.130 visitors, come from 13 countries of the world.Nevertheless, a thing missed: never we had seen Tintin and Milou on Grand Place of Brussels.
