Les Trésors de la Bande Dessinée asbl

The institution is constituted by the material entanglement of literary works of the Ninth Art and three dimensional objects. Characteristic is the curatorial fusion of comics, figurines, and complex models into an interdisciplinary corpus. This is defined by its specific orientation towards physical artifacts where the preservation and documentation of the respective materiality play a central role. Thus, the association distinguishes itself from purely theoretical discourse societies and focuses instead on the object science of sequential art.

Systemically considered the association functions as a private supporting structure for cultural collection management. It is classified within the Luxembourgish cultural framework as a specialized entity that institutionalizes the transition from private collecting activity to public cultural mediation. By embedding itself into the formal legal framework of the trade register the autonomy of the institution is synchronized with requirements for transparency and sustainable management. It thus occupies a niche between private property and public museal presentation.

The teleological orientation aims at the permanent safeguarding and public popularization of graphic literature. Functional effects are achieved by the association through the organization of targeted exhibition formats that make the aesthetic impact of the exhibits directly experienceable for the viewer. Through this application approach the cultural significance of the Ninth Art is sustainably strengthened within society. The practical organization of the collection thus serves as an instrument for communicating art history and fostering the aesthetic education of the public.
