very interesting exhibitions for contemporary and classical art lovers. Free entrance on first Wednesday of the month

This small museum at the skirrs of Brussels gives you a total different perspective on this today famous Belgian painter.Magriitte lived most of his life in this house with limited income. The.museum presents a varity of personal objects and rroduction of lost paintings.Very limited art pieces are presented. The two guides are great.I like the story of thi musuem, result of the passion and dedication of a couple of people.

Poor staff; grumpy and unhelpfulPoor signage; I couldn't figure where to goPoor information; there was no info to say we had to check our bags in, so were turned back, most rudely at exhibit entrancePoor exhibits

the museum is great as the exhibit is organized in a kind of timeline of Magritte's life and career. There are chronologies of his life as you enter each room, and his art is mostly displayed in the same order. Therefore it is interesting to see how he evolved as he played around with different styles during his life. The walls are also decorated with quotes that The artist has been known to have said.The gift shop offers a plethora of Magritte-related items and even "Son of Man" souvenirs even though his most recognized work is not presented in Brussels.Well worth the visit and the entrance can be combined with 3 other museums for a reasonable price.There are lockers to put your bags, audio guides and most of the descriptions on the walls are translated into French, English, and Flemish

As someone who isn't big in to looking at art... this building displayed artwork to capture the imagination of both art loving individuals and those who art as much that way inclined.

Part of the Museum of Fine Art in Brussels, the Magritte Museum is housed in a modernised part of this splendid building, and is spread over three levels. You start on the 3rd floor which has his earliest works, then go down levels until the first level which holds his latest stuff. If you like surrealist art then this is a must see collection. A combined ticket can be bought to visit other parts of the Museum, but that would involve quite a lengthy part of one's day to do justice to the fine works present.

We enjoyed it a lot (family visit) and what came home with us were memories and some modern pictures, especailly the pipe!Belgian surrealist and since he is local it's good to visit his art, if you like such kind of art. Recommended.

The most iconic Magrite paintings are absent of the museum. In spite of some of the best pieces are in New York MoMa from 2014 to 2015, the importance and location of the museum justify that better collection.

René and Georgette Magritte lived in this house from 1930-1954, meaning this is the place where his art reached maturity and where he found inspiration for the bulk of his work. Even today, his energy still permeates the place: the atmosphere is unmistakably charged with the electricity of his creative genius.Here, he created his variations on a theme "L'empire des lumières" (several versions between 1950 and 1954), "La condition humaine" (1933 and 1935 versions), and other, more stand-alone masterpieces such as "La réponse imprévue" (1933), "Le domaine d'Arnheim" (1938 version), "L'appel des cimes" (1942), "La magie noire" (1945), "Les valeurs personnelles" (1952), and "Golconde" (1953).The ground floor, where the couple lived, has been recreated with the help of more than one hundred original photos and lots of testimonies from friends and acquaintances of the Magrittes. Dining room, bedroom, and the kitchen in the back, are off limits for visitors, and can only be viewed from the hallway. The garden can be entered, then again, the studio in the back (of the garden) can only be viewed from the outside. Taking photographs in the garden is allowed, it is, however, prohibited inside the house.First and second floor, and attic, of the museum, which the Magrittes never occupied, now house a collection of drawings, paintings, manuscripts, and paraphernalia.When I visited in September 2014, the museum was holding a most interesting temporary exhibition of Magritte's recreated lost work. In particular, the knowledge that could be gleaned from reading between the lines of the stories surrounding the disappearance of the paintings were particularly edifying.While the collection of the Magritte museum in the rue Esseghem in Jette, can by no means hold a candle to the collection of the Magritte museum on the place Royale in Brussels, it is definitely a must for every dyed-in-the-wool Magritte fan. Magritte died in 1967, and the 45 years since have swept away every remnant of the secluded world that spawned him, and by extension, his work.True, those worlds are now lost forever, but when I concentrate hard, I can imagine hearing echoes of friends I have forgotten, or perhaps, never even knew at all.

Its a good museum if you like Magritte - but I think he's a bit like Andy Warhol - highly over-rated. He had some nice ides but there've been reprinted so many times as to have become clichés.

This museum gathers all Magrittes fases in life and paintings.Very nice visit in a beautiful building which is just around the corner of the Belgian royal palace.

Very famour artist in Belgium, a must for many art lovers.Very interesting collection of modern art.Admirable

I got lost reaching Magritte's home on a very cold rainy day..and I felt I could really SEE his paintings with his umbrella men flying everywhere..I was blown by the wind..went through seemingly roads & reached the house.A lovely collection of artworks and his personal furniture which really echoes his work.Does art imitate life or does life imitate art..is the question.Loved it.

The best part of this museum is the opportunity to see Magritte works normally in private collections. Apparently, they change the exhibit through their borrowing from private collections and this also means that some of the permanent collection is away on loan to other museums. Fantastic overview of his work and his life. Highly recommend seeing this museum.
