The Horta Museum, located in Brussels, is dedicated to the work of renowned architect Victor Horta, a key figure in the Art Nouveau movement. Housed in Horta’s own former residence and studio, the museum showcases an impressive collection of Art Nouveau stained glass, mosaics, and decorative furnishings. Visitors can explore its unique architectural features and hidden staircases, which contribute to the museum’s spacious feel despite its small exterior. Tours typically last around 1 to 1.5 hours, and advance booking is recommended due to limited ticket availability.

While specific exhibitions may vary, the museum offers an insightful look into Horta’s life and his impact on architecture. A video presentation provides an overview of his work, and printed guides offer further context, although visitors should note that reading glasses may be helpful due to small font sizes. Photography is not permitted inside, allowing for an uninterrupted appreciation of the art and design.
