About Pavillon des Passions humaines - Paviljoen van de Menselijke Driften

The Pavilion of Human Passions, also known as the Horta-Lambeaux Pavilion, is a neoclassical pavilion in the Parc du Cinquantenaire/Jubelpark of Brussels, Belgium. Commissioned by the Belgian state, it was designed by the architect Victor Horta and constructed between 1891 and 1897 to serve as a permanent showcase for The Human Passions, a monumental marble relief by the sculptor Jef Lambeaux. Although classical in appearance, the building—in the form of a Greek temple—shows the first steps of the young Horta towards Art Nouveau.
