Art Nouveau, public art

© Ville de Bruxelles/Stad Brussel

The City of Brussels' Historical Heritage Unit invites you to explore some of the Belgian capital's Art Nouveau buildings and monuments. While mostly associated with private projects, the Art Nouveau style can also be found in a number of public edifices.

All the examples featured, whether they be schools, houses, monuments or tombs, have some connection with the Art Nouveau movement.
