Charlier Museum

The Charlier Museum (Musée Charlier; Charliermuseum) is a museum in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium, exhibiting Belgian art of the end of the 19th century. The museum is often used for concerts of classical music.

History
The current museum building was bought by an art collector Henri Van Cutsem in 1890. Van Cutsem hired Victor Horta, a famous architect, to remodel and extend the building. The renovation in Art Nouveau style was completed in 1893. In 1904, Van Cutsem died and left the house to the sculptor Guillaume Charlier. When Charlier died in 1925, his will requested that the house and the collection be opened as a public museum. The museum was opened in 1928.
