For children and grown-up children alike, this museum is a wonderland. Belgium, of course, is the home of Tintin and this museum houses an extensive collection of Tintin-related exhibits, alongside other Belgian comic strips, old and new.

Not only is there a fantastic collection of original drawings and memorabilia, including the rocket that took Tintin to the moon, but it's all housed in a wonderfully glamorous building by Victor Horta, whose art nouveau architecture has become synonymous with Brussels.

The museum has a superb gift shop where you can buy, as I did, an amazingly characterful furry Milou (Snowy) of your own to take home: mine, intended for my mother, was too adorable and has stayed with me ever since.
