The Comic Art Museum – Brussels is celebrating the 65th birthday of Asterix with “Dogmatix & Co. – The Great Story of a Little Dog”.
Recently opened, the exhibition, produced in partnership with publisher Albert René and the Institut René Goscinny, delves into the story of Dogmatix for the first time ever, with archive documents, original records and so much more.
Retrospective and playful, those are the two key words to describe this exhibition. Visitors can discover how the character Dogmatix developed over the course of the albums, from his first appearance in Asterix and the Banquet to his own animated series, Dogmatix and the Indomitables.
From a little dog with no name passing in an album to Obelix’s indispensable, loyal companion, Dogmatix emerged as an endearing hero and conquered so many hearts.
Running until 9th March 2025, this is your chance to discover this delightful universe as a family, ideal also for the little ones with custom-designed games.
With Dogmatix and his friends, the Comic Art Museum celebrates the humour, friendship and universal values of a cult series, to be enjoyed to the full.
• “Dogmatix & Co. – The Great Story of a Little Dog” runs until 8th March 2025 | More information here | Comic Art Museum – Brussels, Rue des Sables 20, 1000 Brussels
With thanks to Paul Gravett for the heads up
