Presentation
In the unique setting of a former newspaper office, the Marc Sleen Museum offers a view on the many facets of the exceptional work of an outstanding artist. The standing exhibition includes several exhibitions about the life and works of Marc Sleen. Even if Nibbs is Sleen’s uncontested success series, less known comics like Oktaaf Keunink, De Lustige Kapoentjes and Piet Fluwijn en Bolleke are also treated in detail. In conclusion three themes of his work are elaborated: safari, political cartoons and Tour de France.
In a reading corner visitors cannot only get acquainted with the comics of Marc Sleen in several languages, they can consult secondary literature as well.
The Foundation also keeps an archive of more than 15.000 original drawings of Marc Sleen. Througout the year a selection of these originals is presented in the Gallery of the Marc Sleen Museum.
All museum texts are in Dutch, French and English.
