Hortamuseum

Horta Museum

The Horta Museum is located in the private house and studio of Victor Horta (1861-1947).

Built between 1898 and 1901 at 23-25, rue Américaine in Saint-Gilles, Brussels, the two buildings are typical of Art Nouveau at its height. 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.

Upcoming exhibition
Pushing back the walls

Five artists dress Horta’s house. From 3 September to 14 November 2021, as part of Brussels Design September.

The Duo Chevalier-Masson, Pierre Marie, Christoph Hefti and Nicolas Stolarczyk have been given carte blanche to take over four rooms in the museum with custom-designed wallpapers that perfectly echo Horta's work and the house. These wallpapers are produced for this occasion by the Atelier d'Offard in Tours.
