The new tenant of the impressive Vauxhall Pavilion situated in the royal park in Brussels is a passionate collector of comic albums who is looking for a place for his collection as well as a home, the city of Brussels has announced. The new tenant, who has not been named, takes over the lease from Baron Eric d’Huart, who has lived there since 1987 but left to avoid the noise of the city.
