Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining a visit there with the Place Royale, the Royal palace, the Musical Instruments Museum, and/or Mont des Arts. Brussels Park is also a great place for a break.

Meta review

Consistent online reviews from visitors who enjoy the chronological progression (over 3 floors) that give them insights into periods and themes that the artist worked on that they were not necessarily familiar with. The only drawback is the scarcity of well-known works by the artist, most of them being in other museums or private collections.

Environmental & Social

Some environment impact to run the museum (mostly electricity). Spreads culture and the arts

The Magritte Museum is the best venue to discover a wide range of artwork from Rene Magritte and understand his artistic evolution. A great option for those who enjoy surrealism.
