Hidden Gem of Belgian Cultural Heritage
🤎 The Horta Museum, built between 1898 and 1901, is owned and designed by the most famous Art Nouveau architect, Victor Horta. He is considered a key figure in the Art Nouveau movement and one of its founders. The style is renowned for its integration of architecture with interior decoration, turning homes into works of art. 🤎At the Horta Museum, you can admire the exquisite craft details from the colored glass skylights to the woven copper and steel joints. You can also feel the warmth of the wood chosen by Horta, as well as the curves inspired by nature, Celtic, and Oriental cultures. These designs are reflected in tables, chairs, candelabras, light fixtures, door handles, and wardrobes. Particularly, the patterned craftsmanship on the staircase winds upwards like a blooming flower, extending like vines to the ceiling lights. These beautiful lines intertwine, like melodious curves dancing. 🤎 If you’re visiting Brussels, you absolutely must visit this museum! It’s definitely worth the trip!! It’s a pilgrimage site for niche art lovers, come to experience the beauty of Belgian Art Nouveau. Every time I am moved and impressed by the beauty of these buildings. #LondonLife #BrusselsBelgium #ArtNouveau #NicheMuseum #LittleRedBookStudyTour #ArtAppreciation #HomeDesign #AestheticsOfLife #WeekendGetaways #WorldCulturalHeritage
