COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
The Magasins Waucquez was originally a department store specializing in textiles. In its design, Horta used all his skill with steel and glass to create dramatic open spaces and to give them an abundance of light from above. The steel and glass skylight is combined with decorative touches, such as neoclassical columns. The store closed in 1970, and now a museum, the Belgian Comic Strip Center.
The photo shows the second floor.
