Step into the Magritte Museum in central Brussels and follow the surrealist's career decade by decade. Move down three floors of paintings and personal artifacts, from early cubist experiments to his best-known images.
Full description
The Magritte Museum presents the painter's work in chronological order across three floors, tracing his move from cubism to surrealism alongside artifacts from his life. Reviewers advise starting at the top and working down, and one praised a guided visit that explained the phases of his painting.
Booking is recommended, and 90 minutes is a comfortable length for the full circuit. The museum is closed on Mondays and opens at 11:00 on other days.

Reviews
I enjoyed my visit to this museum as all his works are curated and presented very well. Start from the very top and work your way down. The works are clubbed together as per the timeline. You will need at least an hour to enjoy the works. Would recommend buying the Old Masters+Magritte museums ticket together
