Enjoy the full glory of this celebration with the Art Nouveau Pass.
It was in 1893 that architect Victor Horta put the finishing touches on Tassel House. Tassel House is considered to be the founding work of the Art Nouveau movement in Brussels. The modernity of its façade and its sumptuous interiors – in stained glass, mosaics and wrought iron – have marked the history of architecture. 130 years later, Brussels is marking this anniversary and staking its claim as the capital of this international artistic movement.
There is no doubt that Brussels certainly is top of the class, but there are other cities that can make justified claims; Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Glasgow and Majorelle and others in Nancy made their mark. However, just by visiting ‘Old England’ home of the Museum of Musical Instruments, the Cartoon Museum and the wonderful Salle Victor Horta, Bozar, you can enjoy the works of Horta and other leading lights of the movement.
