  This is not really a museum, but the house iconic of the Art Nouveau style of Horta, he design this house which was is office and his home. You can avoid to pay the too expensive rate of 8 euros / person to see a not so wonderful interior and not really interesting collection. The best is to watch the house from the street and you can find in brussels other houses in the style Art Nouveau, some with nice mosaic.

  Totally stunned! On arriving at the Horta Museum you are asked to leave all coats and bags with staff.I have a small bag containing an insulin pen and some hypo treatment to manage my type 1 diabetes - an autoimmune condition which can require immediate treatment should my blood glucose levels drop. However staff told me I wouldn't be allowed in to the museum unless I left this life saving treatment with staff.No museum is worth risking my life over, so I had to leave.I'm very disappointed as I had made the trip to Brussels especially to come here.The attitude of the staff was "leave your essential medical items with us or leave, we don't care which". I do wonder what their staff would do if I collapsed due to low blood glucose in one of their rooms but like I said, I'm not willing to find out!

  A somewhat uninspiring building fro the outside. Inside is a different thing everything even the window catches have been so fantastically designed and engineered. Make sure you give the door a good push as it looks as though it is closed!

  This museum is extremely interested for tourists who are passionate of “Art Noveau”: it is possible to enter an historical house, where every element – architecture, furniture, decoration – is part of a coordinated, perfectly integrated environment. Despite the neighborhood is degraded, and the exterior looks quite common; I strongly recommend entering and admiring the beautiful interiors.

  Even if you're not an art nouveau aficionado, this place is not to be missed. Horta had every inch of this place decorated and renovated in the art nouveau style.Truly amazing.

  You start queuing outside (no possibility to book a time-slot), and the house can accomodate only 45 persons at the same time ; then you get in the house and are forced to let your coat, bags (even extra-small if you are a man, but ladys' bag are allowed... ) and cameras in an open cloakroom without any security. Pictures are forbidden in the museum to force you buying postcards... If you refuse to let your camera or bag, you are thrown out of the museum in a over-unfriendly way by a rude cloakroom-keeper and an arrogant old cashier... the worse experience in Brussels. Don't lose your time in this unfriendly place and visit the great new "Musée fin de siècle" in the Musées royaux des beaux-arts !

  You will be totally mesmerised by the Horta Museum, originally commissioned for Drug Firm Solvay as a residence, then a Hotel. This place has detail and design at every level. This, and Horta's home on Avenue des Americains make for a real Brussels experience. Unmissable!

  The museum is not a huge one and has shorter visiting times. Therefore it is better to check this before making a visit. The art décor and the architecture is amazing .
