This is not a museum in the traditional sense: the museum itself is actually the house that Victor Horta built for himself in the late 1890s, which truly …

If you like going back in time to see an Art Nouveau house from the 1900's, then book your tickets on-line (no access without booking) for a timed entrance. We absolutely loved this enormous house w… Full review by bhd197

If you know that Art Nouveau flourished in Brussels, and that Horta was the central figure in it, then you probably have an idea of what kind of house you'll see. It will still exceed your expectatio… Full review by NXZ

Beautiful house with lovely design & furniture. However it would have benefited from something to bring the exhibits to life. Didn’t get a feel for Horta himself or other residents. The house was b… Full review by DKandtheMadDog
We are only in Brussels for a few hours and I’m dying to see Victor Hortas museum! However, my husband will not be happy if we spend and hour of the few precious hours we have in Brussels queuing up in get in the museum. What is the best time of day to go to have the shortest queue?

Dear Joanna, Hortas museum is only open from 2 to 5:30pm Tuesdays to Sundays, so you don't have much option to time your visit. We went in Feb (low season), and arrived shortly before 2pm. We didn't wait long to get in. After saying that, if I were you, I would not go. Since you are only in Brussels for a few hours not a few days, it is best to stay in town centre. Hortas musuem is outside of the town centre, and you need to take a bus back and forth which would eat up your time. There are plenty of Art Nouveau buildings to see in Towncentre, including Music Instruments Musuem which has a restaurant on top. This is also next to the Musée Fin-de-Siècle Museum -dedicating to Art Nouveau. Both would be a lot more convenient for your visit. Honestly, Brussels is a city best enjoyed strolling around leisurely, soaking up the atmosphere, tasting their comfort food, window shopping through endless alleys of tempting chocolate and pastry shops and breweries. It is a city to experience its relaxed charm and not a city for "must see" tourist attractions hopping. As much as I have enjoyed Horta Museum, we went only because we were in Brussels for 4 days.
