Le Chat Déambule, new expo in Brussels Park

If you live around Belgium or France, you could not have missed spotting the cartoon character ‘Le Chat’ (The Cat) in bookstores. The open-air exhibition ‘Le Chat Déambule’ (the cat roams) with a range of dedicated sculptures opens in the Brussels Park (Royal Park) until 30 June 2023. A perfect way to roam into the spring and summer!

Who is Le Chat? 

Created by Belgian illustrator Philippe Geluck in 1983 for the magazine ‘Le Soir,’ The Cat donned a suit and appeared in cartoons about some of the world’s contemporary problems.

Since then, The Cat keeps appearing everywhere, including in his own comic albums published from Casterman. Philippe Geluck is also an actor, a comedian, and a radio host for decades.

Philippe Geluck has been making the amazing huge bronze sculptures of Le Chat and they have been loved by millions of visitors already in the neighbouring countries. Finally, Le Chat now arrives for the first time in the hometown of its creator, Brussels!
