Bommel en Tom Poes Museum: a comic-strip world to read your way into

The Bommel en Tom Poes Museum in Assen is all about Marten Toonder and his characters. Comic strips, drawings and collectables offer different ways into that world.

Plan your visit ↗

From daily strip to book

The collection described includes books, cut-out daily strips, original drawings and newspaper articles. That makes it interesting to look at the form of the story: what does a short instalment do differently from a story you read in one go?

Characters beyond the page

Puzzles, figurines and toys are also part of the collection mentioned. In them, the same characters appear in a different way. Notice which features are enough to recognise a character immediately.

Time to read

A reading room, an animated film and a trail are also described. Choose the parts that match your interests. If you do not know the stories yet, a short extract is a good place to start.

Before you go

The contact page gives Wednesday and Saturday as visiting days. Check the current hours before you travel to Assen.
