Art nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and decorative arts which was popular between 1890-1914. The Museum Quarter is the go-to area for art-nouveau-watching, because the popularity of the style coincides with the development of this neighbourhood as a residential area for a growing group of affluent middleclass families.
