The MOOF Museum is one of the biggest Belgium/French bande dessinée original figure private collection. It was founded in 2012 by Eric Pierre, a Brusseleer collector, and is currently located in a 1300m² museum located near the Grand Place de Bruxelles.
I’ve visited it on September 2021 for the first time, the exhibition is awesome and very impressive !
First, we start with Spirou related figures.

He is similar to Wile E. Coyote in the Warner's cartoon (which is my favorite character in these licenses) : a true genius, but awfully unlucky or clumsy. They have different goals of course, Gaston's is to do the less possible work because he's terribly lazy. However, his laziness is a formidable creative factory of improbable machines or processes.f/1.8 35mm

The next step is the Asterix series. Asterix is also one of my favorite bande dessinée, I’ve grew up with it and I love to read them again or to see the animation movies that were made during Goscinny’s time. Asterix is mainly a parody of the French society transposed into the Antique Gaule after the Roman conquest.
In 50BC, all of the Gaule has been conquered by the Romans. All of it ? No ! A small village of irreducible Gaulois still resists against the invader !
– The introduction of each album
It’s full of anachronisms and jokes that are still up to date today.

Fun fact : for the live action movies of Asterix, the crew was able to find (with a lot of difficulties) white dogs with black hairs at the top of their ears to portray Idefix. They didn’t want to have to teint the animal’s fur.

However, just like Jules Verne did when he depicted the submarine in '20 000 lieux sous les mers' far before the first one, the rocket is incredibly modern according to our standards. It's a fully reusable vehicle using a thermonuclear propulsion engine able to land and lift-off autonomously. The design of the rocket was inspired by the V2 launchers made by the Nazis during World War II.f/2 35mm
