Horta took on many challenges: making art and culture accessible to as many people as possible, offering the best possible conditions for every form of artistic expression and creating a link between the upper and lower parts of the city. All this while maintaining architectural research.
The long entrance area gives access to the concert hall (named after Henry Le Boeuf) with a capacity of 2,200 seats, which, like the theater hall, is located on the lower floor. On the ground floor is the sculpture hall (now the Victor Horta Hall), which leads to the exhibition rooms on the upper floor via a large staircase. The large hall was also suitable for film screenings.
Since 2002, the cultural center has been divided into eight artistic departments under the name BOZAR: exhibitions, music, film, dance, theater, literature, studios and architecture
