Musée Magritte Museum



The New Magritte Museum was inaugurated last June 2, 2009 in Brussels. It is located on the Place Royale, at a walking distance from the Grand’ Place.
Inspired by both the bizarre and the absurd, Magritte evokes a wide spectrum of themes to entice the observer. Surrounded by Brussels as your backdrop, the Magritte museum offers an out of body experience and a course in art appreciation at the same time.
A must if you are visiting Brussels!

Tribute to granny


Already 5 months since my last post. Life goes by and it is good to stop at a certain moment to reflect, have a breath and go on. My granmother passed away last week and this is the most significant event, yet sad, in these months. She finally got relieved from her suffering, that is true but at the same time I had the impression that my already weak memories and family ties with Colombia vanished, I was so sad, the last one of my grandparents left us. However, and I think this was the miracle, I felt the urge to connect again with my cousin and let her know that I will never forget them, because forgettig them will mean to forget my granny and my roots and I do not want to let this happen. This is also a tribute to those who left us before but will remain forever with us as long as we make sure they stay in our memories.
