Our neighborhood (Sint-Gilles / Ixelles) is particularly dense with art nouveau buildings.

Moira and I love all the Art Nouveau hidden around Europe. Riga, Latvia, has an exceptionally rich art nouveau neighborhood. Even Graz, Austria, where I spent my sabbaticals, has an art nouveau building or two.
In Riga, I did one of those 2 hour free walking tours with a graduate student (follow the yellow umbrella) who was studying art history. Great art nouveau!

Love the Art Nouveau . Had a course in it in college, and enjoy seeing it. If you get to Chicago, check out the Tiffany lamps at the Driehaus museum.
Motivation to get back to Chicago!
