Forty years after his death, René Magritte’s paintings will finally have a fitting home of their own. The René Magritte Museum will be housed in a neo-classical building known as the Altenloh Hotel, part of the Museum of Modern Art complex on the Place Royale in Brussels. The museum, in the center of Brussels, will bring together some 150 works by the Surrealist painter.
Magritte’s works are best described in his own words: "My paintings are visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable." René Magritte
Brussels and Belgium invite all art aficionados to come and immerse themselves in the mysterious world of René Magritte. More information on the opening of the museim to follow soon.
