I spent an entire day in this museum. I’ve been a lifelong fan of Rene Magritte, having first discovered his work on some record liner art on a Pink Floyd album when I was about ten. I love surrealism. It’s my favorite art. It’s dreamlike, imaginative, and open to many interruptions. I always feel Magritte is daring us to explore and open our imagination. My current house has many of Magritte’s works on the walls. They make me feel good. Like anything is possible.
The Musée Magritte Museum, located in the heart of Brussels, brings together the world’s largest collection of the renowned surrealist artist René Magritte: 230 works and archives are displayed. The multidisciplinary space houses paintings, gouaches, drawings, sculptures and painted objects, as well as advertising posters, musical scores, photographs and films. The Museum also has the most important collection from the artist’s “vache” period.
The selection of works exhibited in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium is constantly expanding with a changing selection of external loans. With the support of Belgian and foreign museums as well as private collectors, works are being made available that have previously never been exhibited. The visitor can thus discover many treasures that are still in private possession.
The Musée Magritte Museum has already received 8 nominations and prizes. Every year more than 300,000 visitors come here for all over the world to discover the life and the works of René Magritte.
