Magritte Museum
Just a 9-minute walk from 9Hotel Central, immerse yourself in the poetic and mysterious world of one of Belgium’s greatest artists: René Magritte. Located in the heart of the Mont des Arts, the Magritte Museum is a must-see for lovers of surrealism and anyone curious about the unexpected.
The largest Magritte collection in the world
Spread over 2,500 m², the museum offers the world’s largest collection of works by René Magritte, with over 200 original pieces: oil paintings, gouaches, drawings, sculptures, advertising posters, photographs, films and personal letters.
While visitors will certainly recognize iconic masterpieces, they’ll also uncover lesser-known works and surprising stylistic periods that shed new light on the depth and complexity of Magritte’s imagination. The museum’s chronological layout guides visitors through the artist’s unique philosophical journey, where image and language often twist our sense of reality.
A global research center
The Magritte Museum is also an internationally recognized research hub. It houses a dedicated documentation center, offering access to thousands of archival materials related to Magritte’s life and artistic legacy. Scholars and fans alike can explore the deeper layers of this enigmatic artist’s world.
Magritte Shop: surreal souvenirs
Before leaving, don’t miss the Magritte Shop, which offers a stylish selection of books, posters, postcards, and design objects inspired by the painter’s most iconic symbols — the green apple, the bowler hat, the cloudy sky… A perfect way to bring a piece of Magritte home with you.
