What people are saying about Magritte Museum

Overall rating

4.1 / 5

based on 1,154 reviews

Much bigger exhibition than I expected! A must-see for any Magritte fans. Lots of interesting and historical facts about the artist and his work! The Museum is a work of art in itself, with a huge open space in the main room with a beautiful ceiling and balconies with art, which I'd definitely go back again to see! There was more than one exhibition, so the building must be absolutely immense! Well curated and culturally rewarding, and great value for money... especially if you book online. 5 stars from me :)

The Magritte museum is full of photographs and information that build a detailed picture of Magritte the man. There are sketches and films, as well as a wide range of his work from his early days as a graphic designer, through the the surrealism he is best known for. My only negative comment is that much of his best loved work is elsewhere, and much is still held in private ownership, se we didn't see as many as we had hoped.

App worked perfectly and the exhibition was absolutely awesome, a great blend of back ground material, insights into the personal life of the artists and his friends and family and influences, and wonderful, varied works

You get familiar with the city You decide what to see and where you get off

Very informative and an enjoyable way to explore Brussels.
