Swirly Art Nouveau | Victor Horta

I woke up with some sorta 1950's tension headache and these swirls and muted colors seem so pleasing to the eye.  Unfortunately, decent photos of the Musée Horta are harder to come by and cameras aren't allowed inside, at least that's what I was told (could stand to work on my stealth photography with my next visit).

One of my most favorite elements of Brussels: Art Nouveau architecture.   And it's everywhere.  You can also find amazing examples of Fascist, Art Deco, Brutalist, Bauhaus, and of course, Gothic and 16th Century.  Brussels isn't exactly known for anything more than maybe the home of the EU and some food stuff - but if you dabble in design or just like to look a grand and diverse collection of architecture, it's definitely worth a visit.
