Brussels has been recognised as a true capital of Art Nouveau style but the Art Deco movement also holds a very important place in the city’s architectural heritage. As Belgian capital marks the 2025 Year of Art Deco, Brussels Museums offers a special edition of its popular Art Nouveau Pass, which allows everyone to discover Brussels’ Art Nouveau and Art Deco masterpieces in one easy and affordable package.
Thanks to the Art Nouveau Pass, visitors can uncover these unique styles all around Brussels and access many exceptional places with breathtaking interiors, as well as a series of dedicated exhibitions. For the Art Deco Year Edition 2025, the pass got a number of upgrades and new additions, including some of the city’s major Art Deco jewels such as Villa Empain and Van Buuren museum & gardens, as well as access to special new exhibitions dedicated to this style.
With its geometric lines and ornamentation, Art Deco was the artistic movement of the 1920s and 30s. A veritable star of the Roaring Twenties, 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 the great Victor Horta, that introduced the trend. Subsequent private mansions, bourgeois houses and apartment blocks were inspired by this unique aesthetic, making our city a European Art Deco hub.
The Art Nouveau pass offers an opportunity to meet the city from a unique perspective, in an affordable and user-friendly way. In a nutshell, pass holders get a key that opens the doors of three Art Nouveau and Art Deco sites of the choice over a 9-month period.
For those who are interested to delve deeper, the pass also includes discounts on guided tours led by passionate guides, as well as in selected shops and Art Nouveau brasseries where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a glamorous cocktail in style.
This 9-month pass allows you to visit 3 Art Nouveau or Art Deco interiors and/or exhibitions of your choice, and enjoy discounts on guided tours, Art Nouveau shops and brasseries.
