This museum is housed in a former masonic lodge of the Droit Humain in the Rue de L'Ermitage / Kluisstraat, 86 - 1050 Brussels.

The former masonic lodge was transformed into a Museum of Modern Architecture in 2001-2002 according to the plans designed by the architects Elie Levy and the  Brussels Ekla Architects Office.

The main ground floor rooms have been redesigned and restored, keeping the original space and decoration intact. The study of the evolution of the colours allowed the reconstruction of a polychromy on the ground floor inspired by the original 1935 design of the building. The ceiling of the masonci temple has been rebuilt, based on a project by de Bodson and Van Hooveld that was never put in practice. The tile floor, which was in a rather bad state, has been replaced with a wooden floor copying the original mosaic floor.

Each room has been dedicated to one of the architects who were at the cradle of the "Archives d'Architecture Moderne" movement. : Fernand Bodson, Antoine Pompe, Louis Herman De Koninck, Victor Bourgeois and Renaat Braem.
