René Magritte House, Biographical museum in Jette, Belgium
The René Magritte House occupies a four-floor building containing the restored apartment where the surrealist painter lived and worked from 1930 to 1954.
The house transformed into a museum in 1999, marking the centenary of Magritte's birth, following an extensive restoration led by art collector André Garitte in 1993.
The ground floor apartment displays original furniture, including Georgette's Gunther piano, while upper levels present exhibitions featuring thirty Magritte artworks and personal documents.
Located at 135 Esseghem Street, the museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00, with mandatory reservations for groups above eight people.
During their residence, Magritte and his wife Georgette regularly hosted gatherings of the Brussels surrealist group, establishing the house as a center of Belgian artistic innovation.
