Maison et Atelier Horta (Horta Museum)
| Artist | Victor Horta, 1861–1947 |
|---|---|
| Date | 1898–1901 |
| Medium | brick, steel, stained glass, wood and iron |
| City | Brussels |
| Location | 23–25 rue Américaine, Saint-Gilles, Brussels — preserved as the Horta Museum since 1969 |
Horta combined his own house and adjoining studio behind two linked façades on the rue Américaine, completing them around 1901.
The interiors — a top-lit staircase, scagliola columns, furniture of Horta's own design — form the most intact ensemble of his mature domestic work.
The building opened as a museum in 1969 and anchors the UNESCO-listed group of Horta town houses.
