Art in the station edit

Murals on the walls across each of the tracks from the single island platform illustrate more than 140 characters from Hergé's comic The Adventures of Tintin. The sketches for the work were made by the artist himself, just before his death. The figures were drawn by Studio Hergé.[1]

Surroundings edit

Next to the subway station, there is a shopping centre named Stockel Square, home to various shops including clothing, jewellery, food, etc. In front of the station, there is also a cinema called Le New Stockel.[citation needed]
