Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium

The exhibition highlights this legacy through a dialogue between original works by Magritte and their interpretation by modern and contemporary artists.

Marcel Broodthaers undoubtedly best embodies this artistic affiliation: his reflections concern both the status of the object and that of language. Other artists such as Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, César, Sean Landers, David Altmejd, George Condo and Gavin Turk renew our understanding of Belgium’s greatest surrealist.

Over 150 paintings, sculptures, installations, drawings, photographs, films and archival documents are gathered in this unique exhibition. The experience is prolonged in the Musée Magritte Museum, where current creations interact with the largest collection of works by Magritte in the world.

 The exhibition is exceptionally open every day (except public holidays*).
For the occasion, the Magritte Museum will also be open 7/7
(except public holidays*), from 13.10.2017 to 18.02.2018.

Free workshops

Not to be missed: at the heart of the exhibition, a creative workshop is free and accessible to everyone. One weekend a month in the afternoon, there will be extra animation:

• November 4 & 5

• December 2 & 3

• January 13 & 14

• February 3 & 4
