Thanks to the Musée Magritte Museum in Bruxelles, open since June 2009, we've been able to visit Magritte's travel through art. His first years (1898 - 1929), his experiments, not all successfull ( 1930 - 1950) and his disciplined, commercialy oriented last decade. And even though most of his better known paintings are elsewhere, the exhibit offers a moving glimpse of the man behind the bowler hat.
