"Visit Horta's Art Nouveau Masterpieces in Brussels Belgium is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While many architects were experimenting with this new style, Victor Horta is Brussels ' undisputed father of Art Nouveau. Many of his stunning creations are still in use around the city, like the Hôtel van Eetvelde on Place Ambiorix, added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 2000. While the Hôtel van Eetvelde is only open to the public during special 'open heritage' days in Brussels, it's well worth walking through the neighbourhood, rich in dramatic architecture. To see inside one of Horta's creations, visit the Horta House Museum, in the St. Gilles neighbourhood. This was Victor Horta's home and studio and he designed every last detail, inside and out. It is also a UNESCO listed building. Guided Art Nouveau walks are provided by many tour companies, including the Brussels Greeters volunteer network. You can also download a self-guided tour map from the Visit Brussels website."

For me this was the best of the Art Nouveau house I’ve seen in Brussels, the stained glass ceiling is remarkable. The central feature of the house that allows light to fill the middle of the building, with an opaque glow. The table is an amazing example the length and shape.

If you're a fan of art noveau this place is for you. I really enjoyed the exposition explaining the history of this artistic movement in Brussels and I enjoyed how it didn't shy away from the more unpleasant parts of history such as Leopold II and his morally questionable operations in the Congo. The building itself is also beautiful.

Visited with my friends. Designed by the renowned architect Victor Horta in the late 19th century, this Art Nouveau masterpiece is a striking blend of glass, iron, and light. The house was commissioned by Edmond van Eetvelde, a diplomat, and reflects the luxurious design trends of the time. The intricate details and elegant use of natural light make it

Great introduction to Art Nouveau. We also bought the map that traces art nouveau buildings in the city and followed a fascinating exploring track.

Not bad but not so worth it. I love Art Nouveau but this could be so much better than it is currently. The visit is quite quick, I didn’t feel like it was very well thought out. There is so much potential especially in the second house with the glass ceiling but it feels empty. For the price, I am not feeling like it’s much worth it. If you are in the area, do it. Otherwise, skip it
