    The memorial plaque commemorates the third Tintin festival held in Namur in May 2009. It was presented to the city by the Moulinsart company and sealed on the facade of the Namur conference center.
    This bas-relief, created by Andy Jacobs, reproduces a box from the color edition of the album 'The Crab with the Golden Claws' where Tintin first meets Captain Haddock.

    This is a **facade stone/commemorative plaque** on the **Town Hall of Namur (Hôtel de Ville)**.

    **What is depicted here?**
    At the top, you see two coats of arms:


    * **left**: the **city coat of arms of Namur** (with the fortified towers),
    * **right**: the **Walloon lion**.
    Between the two is the year **1932**.


    **Meaning of the text**
    The inscription states that **the city of Namur commissioned the construction of this building** ("*La Ville de Namur m’a fait construire*") and names:


    * the **mayor** (L. Huart),
    * the **aldermen**,
    * the **engineer** and **architect**,
    * and the **contractor**.
