Horta Museum

Built by the architect between 1898 and 1901 at numbers 23 and 25 of the Rue Américaine in Saint-Gilles, the two buildings are characteristic of Art Nouveau at its peak. Plant curves and light spring up in every corner of the house and form a total work of art. The interior decoration has largely been retained, the mosaics, stained glass, and wall decorations forming a harmonious and elegant whole, down to the last detail. The Horta Museum also organises temporary exhibitions and preserves the architect’s archives as well as a reference library on Art Nouveau.
