Exhibition at the Athus Library | Astérix and Obélix: the indomitable exhibition
Astérix and Obélix hold a special place in the history of Franco-Belgian comics. Their universe combines humor, adventure, and historical references, offering a unique take on Antiquity. The albums are full of wordplay, contemporary nods, and colorful characters. The exhibition will revisit the origins of the series and present its main and secondary characters while illuminating the historical context in which their adventures take place.
The exhibition also highlights the many adaptations of Astérix and Obélix on the big screen and in animation. Animated films, live-action movies, and TV series have helped make the Gaulish village known to a global audience by translating its humor, memorable brawls, and cult scenes. Screenings of the films “Astérix et le secret de la potion magique” and “Astérix et Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre” are also planned.
