Catalogue information
After Suske en Wiske had already been seen on walls in Brussels, Hasselt and Antwerp, they can also be seen as a mural in the last residence of Willy Vandersteen from 2009 onwards. Municipality of Kalmthout and Stripdag Kalmthout have joined forces and thereby link Suske en Wiske even more to the heath community. On Sunday 26 April 2009, the Suske en Wiske comic strip wall was officially inaugurated in Kalmthout. The location of the wall is a 15-meter walk from Kalmthout station. At the premises of Pigment, Academy for Visual Arts, the 20m² drawing certainly stands out in the street scene. Children of the academy also contributed to the drawing. They framed the wall drawing by further elaborating the drawing in their own way. The inauguration of the wall was accompanied by an official celebration and reception and in the streets around the building there were all kinds of stands where visitors could purchase comics. The Suske en Wiske bouncy castle and strip wheel were also present and they had the opportunity to have a strip signed by Luc Morjaeu and Peter Van Gucht. On this day, following the Heritage Day, the Provinciaal Suske en Wiske Children's Museum was accessible and, after the opening of the tourist season and Earth Day, people could also experience activities in the Arboretum Kalmthout, Nature Education Center 'De Vroente', Bijenteeltmuseum and information office. Special gadgets have been made for this occasion. At the stand of Stripdag Kalmthout they could obtain 2 new stickers with greetings from Kalmthout and also a postcard "Greetings from Kalmthout" in limited edition. When purchasing an album, the aforementioned postcard was obtained for free.
