Horta Museum is a museum dedicated to the life and work of the Belgian Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta and his time. The museum is housed in Horta's former house and atelier, Maison & Atelier Horta (1898), in the Brussels municipality of Saint-Gilles. In the splendid Art Nouveau interiors there is a permanent display of furniture, utensils and art objects designed by Horta and his contemporaries as well as documents related to his life and time. The museum also organises temporary exhibitions on topics related to Horta and his art.The interior decoration has largely been retained, the mosaics, stained glass, and wall decorations forming a harmonious and elegant whole, down to the last detail.

UNESCO

The Museum, the first Art Nouveau 'listed' building in the Brussels Region (1963), opened to the public in 1969. It is a World Heritage Site and won the Belgian Museum Prize in 2012. The UNESCO commission recognized the Horta Museum as UNESCO World Heritage in 2000.

"The four major town houses - Hotel Tassel, Hotel Solvay, Hotel van Eetvelde, and Maison & Atelier Horta - located in Brussels and designed by the architect Victor Horta, one of the earliest initiators of Art Nouveau, are some of the most remarkable pioneering works of architecture of the end of the 19th century. The stylistic revolution represented by these works is characterised by their open plan, the diffusion of light, and the brilliant joining of the curved lines of decoration with the structure of the building."

An extensive restoration project was completed in 2013. In 2014 it also won the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Award.
