The summer program did a day trip to Brussels and I have so many photos to share! I’m going to split them into two posts-the first one will be a lot of the street art\/comic book art and then the second will be the more historical parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we arrived in Brussels we had the option to take a guided walk, which I did. Some of the walk was historical, but a lot of it was about the comic book art you can finds on the streets of Brussels. It’s crazy how you can just come around the corner and see these really fun works! So, why so many comic strips in Brussels? Apparently, many comic strip authors hail from Belgium!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started off just by going into the foyer of the Mus\u00e9e de la Bande Dessin\u00e9e (Comic Art Museum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we went out into the city to see a bunch of the painted comic books and also just general street art, so I’ll leave you with that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
