Triple treat at Brussels' Horta Museum
It's 100 years since Victor Horta moved out and sold both his house and his studio, 50 years since the opening of the museum and 30 years since the restoration was started. To mark these anniversaries, Brussels' Horta Museum is putting on three exhibitions, all under the banner of "A Collection of Collectors". The museum is also now three buildings: The building next door to the museum was purchased a few years ago and has now come into its own. This extension was created to ease the wear and tear on the other two which were suffering from the museum’s international celebrity, by providing a visitor welcome space, an exhibition space and room for the administrative offices. Museum curator Benjamin Zurstrassen tells us about the three concurrent exhibitions.
