Walls with a story: comics and poetry in the streetscape

Does a facade have no decoration? Then we'll take care of it ourselves. As you walk along the Antwerp Walls with a Story, your guide will reveal what Antwerp has to do with comic strips, who puts the drawings and texts on the walls, and which artists and poets come up with the designs.

Are your favorite cartoon characters already depicted on a wall in Antwerp? Do you sometimes specially walk down a street so you can read your favorite poem again? If so, do you know how many comic book walls there are in Antwerp? Or who took the initiative to put poems on walls? And what exactly is a comic book?

During the Muren met een verhaal walk, you will learn more about how a comic strip is made and who puts the figures on the walls. Your guide will also tell you about city and other poets, as well as about Antwerp in comics and comics in Antwerp. Bet you learn something new after all?
