Par Toutatis!…The Romans are coming!

The French are not necessarily known for being brilliant when it comes to humour, however genius does strike this nation once in a while. Fortunately this happened with René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo when they decided to create Asterix & Obelix. And because their anniversary this year could not have passed unnoticed, a very nice parisian exhibition has been dedicated to them at Clunny Museum, as well as an anniversary edition (the Golden Book) which I enjoyed very much.
The exhibition gathers original sketches, the gaelic fictional map of France, scenarios and of course advertisings of the most famous editions. I hope the images below will give you the gist of a very nice afternoon in their company
Unfortunately had to remove some of them because of the long time of their loading

Glad you’re interested. It was 9.2 euros, and it’s a journey through the entire universe of the series, I lend it only to earnest persons :p
