Museum & Exhibitions

The René Magritte Museum is located in the house where the famous, surrealistic artist lived and worked for twenty-four years. After three years in Paris, René and Georgette Magritte returned to Brussels in July 1930 and rented an apartment 135 Esseghem street in Jette (a suburb of Brussels). Magritte occupied the groundfloor and the garden. In 1932 he built at the back of this garden the Studio Dongo, where he created publicity projects. few years later, he has the kitchen transformed and added a bathroom to it. It was in the dining room-studio that he painted most of the time and where he realized nearly half of his paintings and gouaches. It was in this modest room that Magritte's most creative period took place, which lead to many masterworks.
