The exhibition Asterix at the Musée de Cluny
In the restored frigidarium of the Gallo-Roman baths at the Musée de Cluny
Some thirty original comic artworks by Albert Uderzo, along with handwritten texts and typescripts by René Goscinny, used in the creation of the Asterix albums, were on display for the first time in France, from 28 October 2009 to 3 January 2010. An exceptional opportunity to discover the creative process behind a comic book page: from the original concept through production, from the first synopsis to the final scenario, from the first pencil sketches to the colour plates.
The launch issue of the Pilote weekly, the first sketches of Asterix and Obelix, signed by Albert Uderzo, the first notes of René Goscinny introducing the names of our favourite Gauls: all the original documents of Asterix's two creators of Asterix were finally brought together for a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition!

On the railings around the garden of the Musée de Cluny
Along boulevard Saint Germain and boulevard Saint Michel, in the heart of the Latin Quarter so dear to Justforkix's heart, passers-by smiled and took one another's pictures before using their mobile phones to send them to friends and family. What was going on? Had Lutetia gone off its head? Far from it, by Toutatis! It was just Asterix's sense of fun that was taking over Paris! Asterix invited you on a humorous walk through the history of art.
Consisting of a dozen panels featuring famous parodies and original creations, that display established an unusual dialogue with several masterpieces of Western art. Our druids were beginning to wonder: could our Gauls have inspired the greatest artists of all time?
