2025 is the year of Art Deco in Brussels.
With its geometric lines and ornamentation, Art Deco was the artistic movement of the 1920s and 30s. Its aesthetic flourished in furniture, the decorative arts and the building facades.
In Brussels, it was the Palais des Beaux-Arts (1922-1929), designed by Victor Horta, that introduced the trend. Subsequent private mansions, bourgeois houses and apartment blocks were inspired by this unique aesthetic, making Brussels a European Art Deco flagship.
In 2025, Brussels will be paying tribute to Art Deco with a special programme of visits, exhibitions, events and activities.
