The Stockel Metro Station in Brussels features murals on either side of the underground station's walls showing all 140 characters from the The Adventures of Tintin. The mural was drawn by Hergé and completed by Studio Hergé, his longtime group of collaborators, in 1988.

A five-story-tall scene from The Adventures of Tintin showing Haddock and Tintin on a fire escape is painted on the side of a building on Rue de l'Etuve in Brussels. It's located just down from the Manneken Pis sculpture, Brussels' famous landmark of a young boy pissing into a fountain.
The mural was painted in 2004 and comes from The Calculus Affair (#18 in the The Adventures of Tintin series), a 1950s cold war detective story about a sonic weapon of mass destruction.
