Art Nouveau was practically born in Brussels. Victor Horta (1861-1947), considered Brussels' master of the art, designed this house and lived in it until 1919; there are hundreds such buildings in the city.

A Personal Favorite Museum
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/30/06
The Musee Horta in Brussels is the home that art nouveau architect Victor Horta designed and built to live in. He created this new "eclectic style," which he created was later became avante-garde and was named, "Art Nouveau." The house if delightful to experience with its many curves of wrought iron, wood, and mosaics. The furniture fits perfectly with the flow of each room. I was enthralled by every room as we moved up stairs. If you go to Antwerp, there is the beautiful Grand Cafe Horta, that you MUST aslo visit. The food was great, but there is salvaged metal from Horta's celebrated Art Nouveau Volkshuis in Brussels, demolished in 1965.
