Magritte Museum
The Magritte Museum opened in 2009 in the neoclassical Hôtel Altenloh on Place Royale, adjacent to the Royal Museums of Fine Arts. It holds the world's largest collection of works by René Magritte (1898–1967), the Belgian surrealist painter whose image-language subversions — including The Treachery of Images ('Ceci n'est pas une pipe') and The Son of Man — became among the most reproduced images of the 20th century.
