Exhibition at the Athus Library | Astérix and Obélix: the indomitable exhibition
As part of the From Novel to Screen 2026 program, the Athus library transforms into a village of indomitable Gauls with the exhibition “Astérix et Obélix: the indomitable exhibition.”
Astérix and Obélix hold a unique place in the history of Franco-Belgian comic strips. Their universe combines humor, adventure, and historical references, offering a quirky reinterpretation of Antiquity. The albums are full of puns, nods to current affairs, and colorful characters that have shaped the imagination of millions of readers.
The exhibition will look back at the origins of the series and present iconic characters, both main and secondary, while also providing insight into the historical context of their adventures.
The exhibition will also highlight the many adaptations of Astérix and Obélix on the big screen and in animation, including animated films, live-action movies, and TV series. In this context, screenings of “Astérix et le secret de la potion magique” and “Astérix et Obélix: Mission Cléopâtre” are also scheduled.
Come (re)discover Astérix, Obélix, and the whole troupe at the Athus library!
