Alone. Not even scared (to be scared!)

The books start from one line: one morning every adult in town has vanished, and a handful of kids are left to cope. Here you walk into it. The route is a labyrinth modelled on the Limbes, the strange world the series' children move through, built from sets, blown-up panels, projections and 3D installations.

The series began in 2006, has passed three million readers, and mixes adventure and horror with grief, power struggles and survival. A reading area has the albums for anyone new to them. The route ends behind the scenes, in a recreation of Bruno Gazzotti's drawing studio and Fabien Vehlmann's writing space, with sketches, storyboards, original pages and preparatory documents.

The museum built it to give young readers shivers, and listings say from age 9. For once, a child whispering "I'm scared" halfway round a museum means it's working. It closes on 15 November, open Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 to 18:00, last entry 17:00.
