Maison Hannon
The Maison Hannon is one of the masterpieces of art nouveau in Brussels, uniting Belgian art nouveau with French art nouveau in a symbolist and dreamlike universe. Built on the corner of Avenue Brugmann and Avenue de la Jonction in Saint-Gilles, it was commissioned by the Hannon couple whose name it bears, Marie and Edouard, from their architect friend Jules Brunfaut in 1902.
Maison Hannon is now open to the public as a museum: the partially refurbished first floor is the site of a restoration project in which the public is invited to take part, and a temporary exhibition provides an overview of Art Nouveau in Belgium.
