This is René Magritte’s home in Jette, not to be confused with the the large Magritte museum in the centre of Brussels. As such, it’s a small and intimate place to visit and is focused on Magritte’s life. When we visited, we were the only people there. It’s an interesting place, with objects from Magritte’s life, his paintings (and replicas), and also includes a modern art exhibition in the neighbouring building. If you have mobility problems, this is not the place to visit as you need to climb up and down several narrow staircases.

A surprisingly interesting addition to the Magritte canon, and on top of that a 1+1 museum as you also have the chance to marvel at 20th century abstract art. You start your visit to René Magritte's House in the adjacent building, with the colourful collection of the Abstract Art museum which focuses on Belgian artists and then you enter the Magritte house. Beside the interesting memorabilia and some original art you will get the chance to see the reproduced copies of Magritte paintings that were destroyed in the past in various instances, most famously during a bombing in London in 1940. The museum is easily accessible by Tram line 93 from the centre of Brussels.

Two locations of Rene Magritte museums, one is part of the loyal art museum and one is his house. The house presents more original scenes and inspiration of his works, especially the neighborhood. But most works are shown at the art museum where his lifetime is shwon chronologically alongside his works.

Very informative , concise and most of his work were present.I defiantly recommend to visit for Art and Painting lovers

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Magritte Museum in Bruxelles is an enchanting masterpiece! From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the incredible collection of surreal art. The exhibits offer deep insights into René Magritte's life and creative process. As a personal highlight, "L'Empire des lumières" left me in awe with its mysterious ambiance and captivating symbolism. The way Magritte played with light and darkness in the painting is truly mesmerizing. A must-visit museum for art enthusiasts! 🎨🏛️

This is a one of a kind unique museum that is well preserved and it was the home of Rene Magritte along with his wife .Ticket was just 10 Euros and the people who work there all spoke perfect English and were very friendly.

(Translated by Google) The museum for abstract art, the M.A.K. / M.A.A., in Jette, Esseghemstraat 135, is an absolute must! The Belgian museums fail to show the Belgian abstract art of the first and second generation, from 1914 to 1975. This is corrected here. Top works that have been brought together by André Garitte with great diligence and excellent taste. In a carefully renovated building that is attached to the Magritte House. (Original) Het museum voor abstracte kunst, het M.A.K. / M.A.A., te Jette, Esseghemstraat 135, is een absolute aanrader ! De Belgische musea laten na om de Belgische abstracte kunst van de eerste en de tweede generatie, dus van 1914 tot 1975, te tonen. Hier wordt dit rechtgezet. Topwerken die met veel ijver en een uitstekende smaak zijn samengebracht door André Garitte. In een zorgvuldig gerenoveerd gebouw dat paalt aan het Magrittehuis.

(Translated by Google) You do not believe that Belgian surrealism was born here If you want to know Magritte, you must have been here. Magritte rented the ground floor of a terraced house in Jette. The curator has succeeded in decorating the house, usually with the original furniture, as it was when he painted his greatest works there. you do not believe that Magritte painted his best and most famous works in this petty-bourgeois milieu The house is supplemented with the first museum for abstract art in Belgium. ALL THERE WOULD SAY (Original) Je gelooft niet dat het Belgische surrealisme hier geboren werd Als je Magritte wil kennen moet je hier geweest zijn. Magritte huurde het gelijkvloers van een rijhuis in Jette. De conservator is er in geslaagd om het huis in te richten, meestal met de originele meubels, zoals het was toen hij er zijn grootste werken schilderde. je gelooft niet dat Magritte zijn beste en meest gekende werken in dit kleinburgerlijke milieu schilderde Het huis wordt aangevuld met het eerste museum voor abstracte kunst van België. ALLEN DAARHEEN ZOU IK ZEGGEN

Current time: 14:37. Website, flyer and door all day it opens at 14h. Called and the man said it will be open at 14:30 (clearly unaware of the time even though we told him it was past that). Not impressed with way we were blown off. Not very professional. Normally would not have cared so much but when it is raining and cold and the restaurants around are closed until dinner time, makes the journey a waste of time. Will update if/when they decide to open for the day

A small museum which is rather a private collection of erotic artifacts (statues, antique sex toys etc). Sure it cannot compete with the sex museums of Amsterdam, but can be amusing if you have nothing to do. Entry fee is 10 eur per person, which we've found somewhat pricey for what you get.

(Translated by Google) very nice little museum with many exhibits of different epochs and cultures. Admission € 10 justified for me, there are in FR NL NL booklets for guidance (Original) sehr schönes kleines Museum mit vielen Exponaten verschiedener Epochen und Kulturen. eintritt 10 € für mich gerechtfertigt, es gibt in FR EN NL Hefte zur Führung

(Translated by Google) This is not a museum but a private collection, which can be bypassed in 10 minutes at most, 20 if you look at every little thing. And for such a place is not cheap price, supposedly you can not take pictures but the staff did not say anything about the photos. (Original) Это не музей а частная коллекция , которую можно обойти за 10 минут не более , 20 если всматриваться в каждую мелочь.

(Translated by Google) Collection was small with too little information on the individual pieces. For the entrance was too expensive. (Original) Sammlung war klein mit zu wenig Informationen zu den einzelnen Stücken. Dafür war der Eintritt zu teuer.

Wir wären fast daran vorbeigelaufen, aber das Mosaik am Boden hat uns darauf hingewiesen, dass wir unser Ziel erreicht haben. Im Vergleich zur Margritte Ausstellung in der Innenstadt waren wir hier vollkommen alleine und hatten genug Zeit um die Kunst zu genießen.

Great staff for an amazing afternoon performance between Magritte, jazz & poetry! What a way to #ComebackBrussels! Highly recommend for an afternoon visit to Jette!

(Translated by Google) The house where Magritte lived until his death You can see Magritte's drawing notes, painted furniture, a kitchen that doubles as an atelier, and family photos. A very beautiful and calm love nest. Also visit the Magritte Museum in the center of Brussels.

(Translated by Google) If you are an admirer of the painter René Magritte, this is a must visit. In the house you will have access to various personal objects, artistic references and more intimate information about the artist. The receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. The visit to Magritte's house should be made in conjunction with the Magritte Museum, which is located further into the center of Brussels. Highly recommended. :-) (Original) Se você é admirador do pintor René Magritte, esta é uma visita obrigatória.

(Translated by Google) An era, a life ... rediscovered. Well done for this place. (Original) Une époque, une vie... retrouvée. Bravo pour ce lieu.

I loved this museum. Very unusual, but definitely worth a visit. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and the exhibits cover all of the world, and from modern times to medieval and earlier times. The only downside is they don't take card, cash only.

Tried visiting at 2:30pm (during usual opening hours)and the door said open but was locked. Disappointed since I was really hoping to see this museum.

(Translated by Google) Only. Worth it. Nothing rude pure eroticism. Small. Private collection. (Original) Único. Vale la pena. Nada grosero puro erotismo. Pequeño. Colección privada.

(Translated by Google) It's a terrific coke, but they never take pictures. Moreover, the catalog did not remain in their hands. There are examples of every civilization from every period.

House of the Belgian surrealist artist.

Loved the museum! It is definitely different from visiting the museum near the Royal Palace, but it is an amazing opportunity to see how Magritte lived and where his pieces were created.

Very cool. Don’t skip if you love art. Be forewarned tho- not a lot of Magritte pieces, mostly about his life and other Belgium surrealist artists of the era.

Very reasonable pricing, great artworks and a deep dive into the world of Rene Magritte.

To be visited if you like the painter, great insight on his life

The house contains not only part of the furniture conserved as in Magritte's life, but also shows drawings, letters, photos and paintings that amazingly reproduce work that has been either missing or destroyed. The visitant receives a guide that explains all the pieces in display and the staff are friendly and willing to explain. Great experience!

Nice museum where lived great painter,highly recommend

Very good to know more about magritte work. I missed some classic paintings that were not there as "lovers", "man's son". 🇧🇷

A local museum showcasing not the paintings but the life of the artiste.

Nice staff great visit for Magritte fans

Interesting collection, but the place is small and quickly crowded. A bit old-fashioned too - you have to read print paper lists to find out more about individual objects.

I love this little museum. The other museum, in the center of town is great to see a lot of real works, but this museum, the former house of Magritte, still has the atmosphere of it's former owner, and his wife, in it. It makes you feel closer to him, and there is so much to see on every floor. A lot of objects and some interesting copies. A hidden Gem!

Amazing!! The staff are so passionate and well informed and his house is so lovely to visit. So many places and objects that inspired many of his paintings are here

(Translated by Google) To visit the apartment that Magritte occupied for 24 years is to meet the painter in a different way. (Original) Visiter l'appartement que Magritte a occupé durant 24ans c'est rencontrer le peintre autrement.

This low-key Museum gives a great insight in René's daily life.

A great a well curated collection of exhibits revolving around the representation of erotism from different cultures and different eras. Everything is neatly displayed and the related info available in 3 languages. You are not allowed to take pictures of the exhibits!

Very interesting, extensive collection of several forms of art, featuring nude male and female figures as well as various sexual acts.

Lovely curated, more than 600 pieces from a private collection. If you are interested in the portrayal of erotics over the past centuries this is definitely worth going. Very nice curators and guides, that help you out with anything you would like to know.

You have to ring a doorbell to get in, so it seems a bit like entering someone's house. This is the private collection which one man has accrued over his lifetime. We were guided around by a lovely and very informative woman who explained the history of each of the pieces and then left us to browse. A very unique and unusual experience!

Simple and tastefull. Most of the peaces are from XX century but most def worth seeing. It would be advisable to book a tour with profesional tourguide if possible. For others, simple guides (description with name of the art peace) on english, dutch and franch available.

Interesting if you don’t have anything else to do!

We loved this. Abstract art was great and Magritte's house is just surreal. The tram journey to get there is part of the experience.

Ok

No original artwork of Magritte in the museum and first 30 min. of the tour is not related to Magritte but to Belgian artists from the same period. If you are very Magritte-oriented, it can be quite the disappointment.

Nice, small museum in Magritte's former home. It showcases his life and features recreations of some of his artwork that was lost in WWII. A good complement to the Magritte Museum downtown. The Museum of Abstract Art next door is small but has a nice selection, though Magritte's style is more my type.

It was okay, but they didn’t have a lot. I was expecting a full-on museum, but I suppose it was my mistake to go without researching first. All in all a cool experience, just don’t go expecting much

Nice museum, nice staff! Strongly recommended!

Very interesting to be able to see so many of his work in one place. I love Magritte and it is a must to visit whilst in Brussels if you do!

House of the painter like he lived there. You can visit all the rooms, inspiring view from the window to Atomium, garden,...

When we want to enter René Magritte room apart from the exhibition rooms, we have to wear galoches. However, the administration keeps dirty galoches beside the door to make the visitors wear them in the entrance of this part.

Interesting exhibition about abstract art . Nice paintings of Renée Demeester, interesting discovery. Overview is the lost paintings of Magritte and a lot of personal objects. It feels great to walk through the rooms he used to live in. Very friendly and enthousiast staff.

Although the exhibition has been rehoused during restoration work the exhibition we felt was surprisingly large, we imagined a smaller collection. As a first time visitor to Brussels entering through the classical architecture of the gallery with its large-scale paintings was impressive. The exhibition is set our with a chronology of significant moments of his life at the beginning, and progresses through the stages of his artistic influences an development. The exhibition appears small initially but one gallery leads on to another gallery space, and there are many accomplished Surrealist pieces, which are impressive to be able to view close up. Definitely worth a visit.
