You're standing at the Hergé Museum in Louvain-la-Neuve, dedicated entirely to Georges Remi, better known as Hergé, the man who created Tintin. Start with the building itself. It's a white, prism-shaped block resting on slender columns. It almost seems to float, a bit like a ship moored at the edge of the park. French architect Christian de Portzamparc, a Pritzker Prize winner, designed it, while landscape architect Jacques Wirtz shaped the setting.
