Visit Maison Autrique, an 1893 art nouveau townhouse in Schaerbeek. Tour the period rooms to see an early Horta design and how upper-class Brussels households lived.
Full description
Maison Autrique is a townhouse from 1893 in Schaerbeek and an early example of Victor Horta's work, now run as an architecture museum with period furnishings and guided tours. Reviewers value that it is more accessible than other art nouveau houses, with no advance booking or long waits.
It offers a view of upper-class life in 19th-century Brussels, though one visitor found the interpretation a little confusing. A guide is recommended.
Forty-five minutes covers the house, and it opens from noon on most days.

Beautiful place, particularly for people interested in architecture and art nouveau. It is more accessible than other art nouveau houses, since you don't need to book in advance and don't need to wait in line. I highly recommend it. Seeing the entire place should take around 40 minutes.
