This summer, we were wandering around Quebec City, after stopping in Montreal for the amazing Police show. Our favorite day in the city was when--surprise surprise - we stumbled upon a fun Tintin exhibit.
Not to brag or anything, but Essentials has the largest online Tintin collection outside of Europe, so we know a thing or two about the young reporter. The exhibit itself made us highly jealous since it showcased collectibles and images loaned by Moulinsart in Brussels. The museum used Tintin's time in Peru to showcase elements of Peru's pre-Columbian civilization. In our opinion, the most compelling part of the show were the original drawings and sketches by Herge. In addition to the excitement of being that close to Herge's original work, the exhibit showed how much he had to learn about Peru before he wrote about our favorite boy reporter's South American adventures.
The exhibit is up until January 6, 2008.
