Horta Museum
Musée Horta
The home and studio of Art Nouveau master Victor Horta, a World Heritage Site. Its wrought-iron staircase and skylight are exemplary Art Nouveau architecture.
Located in Saint-Gilles, this is the house and studio that architect Victor Horta designed for himself in 1898-1901. It is listed as a World Heritage Site together with other Horta residences, such as Hôtel Tassel, under the title Major Town Houses by Victor Horta. Everything inside, from door handles to furniture, was designed by Horta. The highlights are the spiraling wrought-iron staircase and the colored-glass skylight on the top floor, whose lines flow like vines. Closed on Mondays and open in the afternoon. Visits require advance booking on the official website. Admission is about 12-14 euros, and photography is not allowed inside. Take tram 81 or 92 to Janson or Faider stop.
