Welcome
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.
From 4 February onwards, you can discover the history of the museum's restoration since 1961 in the second drawing studio!
This room, refurbished thanks to the support of the Baillet Latour fund, will be incorporated into the permanent Museum tour.

As from the beginning of the school year, every Monday morning, the museum will welcome primary schools for a pay-based, pro-active and immersive guided tour of the house and of the time of Victor Horta. The visit will be followed by a creative workshop exploring a technique encountered in the house (wall painting, stained glass, sculpture etc.)
