Hergé Gets His Own Museum!

Written by on June 7, 2009 in Architecture - No comments

This is by far my favorite bit of news in a long time!  Hergé, the creator of the Tintin cartoons, is getting his own museum in Louvain-la-Neuve near Brussels, Belgium.  The idea for a museum (which was designed by Christian de Portzamparc) has been in the workings since 1979 while Hergé was still alive.  In 1986, three years after he passed away, the Hergé Foundation was created and in 2001 they announced the building of the museum.
