Best two euros I've ever spent (people under the age of 26 get in as a 'youth'). So many awesome works, from the well-known surrealism to the lesser-known impressionism. A must see.

Eugi Angelini

You won't find the most famous Magritte 's works, but don't worry.. the atmosphere is kind of magic and every painting or quote on the wall is enlightened in a perfect way.. really relaxing.

Right around the corner from the royal palace , the Magritte museum displays over 200 artworks of René Magritte, Belgium's most famous surrealist artist .

Matteo Penzo

Loads of pictures but it’s missing the most iconic ones. Get the ticket at the counter for 10 euro. Also nice view of the city from the third floor.

VISITBRUSSELS

This museum stands right in the centre of Brussels, on Place Royale, and exhibits for public viewing the surrealist artist 's creations belonging to Belgium's Royal Museums of Fine Arts . Read more

Ilse Ortega

Very few of the most famous pieces, interesting documentation of his life, artistic stages and art pieces. There is also a “je ne sais quoi” about visiting the museum in Magritte’s home country !🇧🇪

Carl Griffin

Home to a large collection of works by Belgium's most famous surrealist artist , Rene Magritte, and many artifacts from his life.

Juan Llaneza

Don't miss it. A must go museum in Brussels

Ieva Andrukaitytė

A small but impressive museum . It is connected with two other museums in the area. A good place to spend an afternoon enjoying art .

Alexandros Plexidas

Great paintings , notes, pictures and drafts from all 3 seasons of Magritte. Unfortunately though his most famous creations are not here. Admission though is quite fair for the content of the expo.

Teddie Vidolova

"opened in 2009, is a riot of bowler hats, strange birds...go straight to the basement level, where a clever 45-minute film expands on Magritte’s life and artistic milestones." - nytimes

Angie Reisefreunde

Pay the exhibition of Magritte's work a visit. His art is surreal witty and awkward, impressive, full of fantastic creation and mostly very funny. What an artist !!!!

Yann Person

Great museum to get a bit mor insight on the incredible work of Magritte (even for people for people who aren't big fans of museums ).
