Visiting Magritte's house gives you a little insight into a surrealist mind.

A tram-ride from central Brussels, the suburban house is packed with glimpses of the banal, everyday things that inspired Magritte’s extraordinary, warped images: the fireplace (empty without its emerging steam train); the pipe (that is in fact not a pipe); the lamp post (that actually works like any other). The domestic details of this historic house are probably no different from a thousand others in Brussels.

But in the context of wonderful Magritte originals and the fascinating story of his life (displayed upstairs), they take on a new significance.
