If you are in Brussel for one day, this is by far the place you cannot miss. It is the most beautiful little brownstone I've ever seen. You do have to walk a bit to get to it, but you cannot be disappointed by it. The Horta Museum is in a charming neighborhood, and the stroll is enjoyable. The museum... more

If you like art nouveau architecture, this museum is a must-see. It's challenging to get to, as it's outside the city center and so is not shown on many of the maps given out by hotels and guidebooks. We started our day at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, and purchased a map of all art nouveau sites in the... more

This museum was an unexpected delight. My boyfriend and I ventured out to Musee Horta after reading about it on tripadvisor. We waited in line to enter the museum, which is a four story home, and were pleasantly surprised. The interior is a bespoke, art nouveau masterpiece. We walked around awestruck by the sheer beauty of our surroundings - not... more

This was the museum that I really wanted to see, and what a disappointment. It is really quite hard to find - no signs from the Horta metro, or in any of the nearby streets, and all the shopkeepers we asked didn't seem to know where it was, even though it was right in their neighbourhood. The doorkeeper was really... more

What an amazing house-museum this is. The interior is perfectly and lovingly restored. The design of the house is absolutely divine. I felt as if the owners would be returning any minute. Even if one doesn't care for Art Nouveau, one will gain such a new appreciation of it after visiting this masterpiece. I would love to live in a... more

Very difficult to get to, the tourist information is worse than useless as was my guide book- eyewitness.. I went on the tram to 'Horta' stop from the centre, a miracle in itself as the underground / tram system provided very little information, no hand outs of the system, which is daunting, but only 4 euro for 1 day pass,... more

The museum is most enjoyed with the assistance of a formal tour. I happened to walk in at the right time and learned much about the details of this building. Details being critical. The mistake I made was not bringing my map, but I discovered more of the neighborhood than if I took a direct route. Enjoy. Visit other Horta... more

If you enjoy Art Nouveau furnishings and architecture, then the Horta Museum is a must-see. Formerly the designer's home and office, it is one of the few remaining examples of this style where visitors are welcome to enter. The neighborhood is sadly rundown but still seems safe. more
