Pavilion of human Passions -Art & History Museum

Victor Horta and Jef Lambeaux are the respective authors of the classic tempietto with hints of Art Nouveau and the monumental white marble relief ‘The Human Passions’. The title, the sensually writhing nudes and the troubled, to say the least, relationship between the two artists helped create the story and the scandal surrounding this pavilion in the Cinquantenaire Park.

EXTRA MUROS During the Nocturnes, grab your chance to visit the Pavilion of human Passions, a unique room belonging to the Art & History Museum. Designed by the then young architect Victor Horta and featuring the beautiful marble relief by Jef Lambeaux, the Pavilion is exceptionally accessible to visitors.
