1 year Marc Sleen Museum
A new exhibition and a Nibbs album in English
18/06/2010 > 26/09/2010
Marc Sleen was certainly a visionary when in 1995, in the comic strip story The Ghost of Sand Street, he had his brainchild Nibbs meet a ghost in the completely run-down building along Sand Street in Brussels. At that time, no-one could ever have imagined that, with effect from 2009, that same building would be housing the Marc Sleen Museum.
In view of the perfect mix of humour and suspense, The Ghost of Sand Street has all the right ingredients for an excellent Nero story. So, there are plenty of reasons for dedicating an entire exhibition to this symbolic comic strip album. Original drawings, sketches and the documentary story help visitors to get a clear picture of how this special comic strip story came into being. For anyone who is not yet familiar with the oeuvre of Marc Sleen, the exhibition is extremely interesting because it explains the typical hallmarks of a Nero story on the basis of this album.
A new edition of the comic strip album is being published in honour of this exhibition, including a French and English version for the very first time. Catharina Kochuyt, the life partner of Sir Marc Sleen, has taken charge of the English translation.

In order to complete a travel program, the Taiwanese television produced a reportage over the Comic Strip culture in Belgium. The team was really pleased of its venue, as it had the chance to interview Marc Sleen, who was, per coincidence, visiting its own museum! De reportage will be shown during the fall on the Taiwanese television, and will probably be broadcast in other Asiatic countries.
