Belgian Art Nouveau, at the Musée Horta in Saint-Gilles, near Brussels

Focused on artistic and architectural creations during the latter part of the 19th century, the Horta museum is located in two adjacent buildings of the Brussels suburbs, where Victor Horta worked and resided, hence their names. The premises have preserved the essential part of their interior decorations, comprising mosaics, stained glass windows and harmonious mural paintings. They are an open invitation to discover the secrets of their workshops with the publication of the first volume of a book collection dedicated to Art Nouveau.
