Maison Hannon
Art Nouveau in Brussels embodies the enchantment of the Belle Époque, an artistic wonderland and industrial innovations that shaped the Belgian capital at the turn of the century. Born out of the desire to break away from the classical styles of the 19th century, this artistic trend gave rise to a flourishing creative movement where artists and architects drew inspiration from nature, organic forms, and elegant curves.
Brussels, with its cosmopolitan atmosphere and a thirst for modernity, eagerly embraced this wave of innovation, turning its streets into an open-air museum of Art Nouveau.
Sumptuous facades adorned with floral motifs, delicate wrought ironwork, and vibrant stained glass still bear witness today to this revolutionary artistic period that has left an indelible mark on the Brussels urban landscape. This tour invites you on a journey into the heart of Art Nouveau in Brussels, where the aesthetics and audacity of this movement continue to captivate minds and inspire current generations.
