Musée Horta

Although the exterior doesn’t give much away, inside, Victor Horta’s former home – which he designed and built between 1898 and 1901 and inhabited until 1919 – is an Art Nouveau jewel. Bathed in warm colours, the ground-floor living areas incorporate gleaming floor-to-ceiling tiling, while upstairs, you can see Horta’s personalised touches (such as the nifty plumbed urinal behind a cupboard in the bedroom) in the small, intimate rooms. The lower level offers an overview of his work, including the scale model of his magnificent Maison du Peuple before it met with the wrecking ball.
