One of four private houses designed by Victor Horta and listed as UNESCO World Heritage , this is where the pioneering art nouveau architect lived and worked. A must visit for architecture lovers.

An architectural masterpiece! Photography is not allowed, so be prepared to stash your camera & phone in the lobby lockers. Take your time exploring each floor of this intricate Art Nouveau home .

Cast iron, steel and glass elements, curved organic lines , meticulous attention to the smallest detail. Discover the beauty of art nouveau in the house of Horta, one of Belgium's best known architects

Wim Loncke

Worth the visit. Takes about an hour to see all rooms and details. A bit expensive at 10 euro pp. but if you're into architecture this is a must see

Tom

Lovely little museum , beautiful house and furniture , albeit a bit empty. There's nowhere to sit down there at all so make sure you are well rested before going in :)

Kate N.

Organisers did everything to make it NOT visitors friendly ! The stuff controls when you’re allowed to enter the stairs, where you keep your purse , yelling if someone tries to take a phone pic etc.

Rozan Débo

Nice museum , inside a Horta house. 7€ for 30-40min of visit, not really cheap . But if you like new art style it is the place to be

Christopher Lorn

The balcony has a pretty great view . Although small, the entrance fee is only 10 euro and makes it a worthwhile visit

Marianne Clark

Beautiful example of art nouveau. You can relax in the garden after your visit and enjoy the quiet .

Alice Braggion

The amazing house of the architect and artist Victor Horta . You must visit this place if you are in Bruxelles.

Kantica

Horta's house is impressive. However, staff is rude, queues are long, rooms are packed with other visitors and price is really high, so that puts a damper on the experience as a whole...

Nigel O

Only really consider visiting if you are an art nouveau property fan. There is nothing about Horta or much more than just walking around a small house. Weekends be prepared to queue for 40mins+

Kim Gammelgaard

Well worth the money and you must check opening hours, but no photography without special morning tour

Aleksandra Arcipowska

Must see in BXl!

Aline Brandão

Don't let the bland exterior and the queue discourage you - the interiors are truly mesmerizing. It's small, so the whole visit shouldn't take more than 40min. A pity that we can't take photos inside.

J

Small but really pretty. A bit expensive considering one takes 30mins max to see everything

Chris R (thechristophe)

Absolutely stunning place. You can use museum pass but book online.

Amaury Henderick

Take a stroll through Sint-Gillis afterwards. It's an Art Nouveau gold mine!

Rui Rodrigues

Open Tuesday to Sunday, 14h00-17h30, 8€.

Eric van der Linden

Don’t forget to take a walk in the neighbourhood. Full of Art Nouveau.

Ádám Takács

Interesting place, but you can only see a limited part of the building. Probably the queue takes more time than the visit itself.

Amy Robinson

Well worth a visit. A beautiful and decadent house.

Carl Griffin

Stunning example of an art nouveau home .

Mieke ????

Very nice museum and low entrance fee :-)

Boris Gougeon

Crazy house, visit not well organized and would need some more explanations.

Iva Stefanovski

Must see, shame photos are forbidden

Can Erdem

Very well architectured building

Charlotte K

No photography allowed. All bags, cameras and coats to be checked into the cloakroom.

Paul Kardous

Sharon Martin

art nouveau

G D

A bit underwhelming.

Jérémy

Seulement 45 personnes sont autorisées en même temps, vous devrez certainement faire la queue. Photos interdites. Ne manquez pas le chauffe-eau dans la salle de bain ! Le lieu est magnifique !!

Good food BXL & co

Magnifique demeure que Horta a pensé dans les moindres détails pour la rendre fonctionnelle et somptueuse. À voir absolument .

Verónica Blazher

Está muy chulo, es una pasada y un lío de casa. Eso sí, por 4€ de estudiantes muy bien, pero los 8 de la entrada normal me parecen una pasada. No se pueden hacer fotos y te persiguen para comprobarlo.

Loïc P.

Une maison qui recèle de nombreuses pièces originales. Une merveille d'architecture . À voir quand on aime ce style !

Anne Crollen

C'est magnifique!Les guides sont vraiment passionnantes et indispensables.j'ai passé un moment magique.

JD

Niet te missen, ook voor Brusselaars! Heel rare man aan de ingang die iedereen aanmaant alles in lockers achter te skaten, spreekt geen woord Nederlands en stinkt uit zijn mond. Ongemakkelijk!

Jean-Philippe Trigla

Magnifique endroit à visiter. Où l'on approche l'intimité de l'architecte .

Luciana Dasio Carosi
