Magritte Surrealism Museum Drink Coasters – Set of 4 with Iconic Paintings

Museum Drink Coasters Featuring Iconic Surrealism by René Magritte

Give your table a witty, dreamlike twist with these museum drink coasters inspired by René Magritte. The set features four of his most recognizable surrealist images: The Son of Man with the bowler hat and apple, the cloud-filled bird, the famous pipe from The Treachery of Images, and the masked green apple from Souvenir de Voyage.

Each glass coaster functions like a small artwork. Magritte’s calm skies, floating symbols, and unexpected juxtapositions turn an ordinary coffee break into a tiny surreal encounter. These museum bar coasters work beautifully in living rooms, libraries, home bars, and imaginative office spaces.

The images are printed beneath smooth glass so the surface wipes clean easily. Four rubber feet on the underside of each coaster help protect your furniture and prevent slipping. The set includes a black metal storage rack that keeps the coasters stacked and ready to serve. All pieces belong to the Parastone Museum Gift Collection, a European-designed line of art-inspired décor.

Each round coaster measures about 3⅞ inches across and ⅛ inch thick. The four-piece set weighs roughly 1.2 lbs. You may select a mixed set with all four paintings, or a set featuring a single favorite design. These drink coasters coordinate well with other surrealist items in our Dalí & Magritte Surrealism Collection.

Surrealist Imagery on These Museum Drink Coasters

Magritte loved to challenge how we see familiar objects. In The Son of Man, a green apple hides a man’s face. In the cloud bird, a flying shape is filled with open sky. The pipe insists “Ceci n’est pas une pipe,” reminding us that images are not things.

The masked apple from Souvenir de Voyage adds a playful sense of disguise. Together, these scenes create a compact introduction to Magritte’s ideas. The Magritte table coasters invite conversation about illusion, language, and how art can surprise us during everyday routines.

Collectors who enjoy these museum drink coasters often pair them with three-dimensional Magritte adaptations. Popular choices include our Son of Man bowler hat statue , the whimsical Boot Feet figurine , and the contemplative Le Thérapeute statue . Together they create a small surrealist corner on a bookshelf or bar cart.

About the Artist: René Magritte

René Magritte (1898–1967) was a Belgian surrealist painter known for cool, precise images that disturb expectations. Instead of melting clocks or wild dream scenes, he used ordinary objects placed in surprising contexts. A hat, an apple, a pipe, or a bird can become a puzzle about what we see and what we believe.

Magritte’s paintings influenced later pop art, advertising, and graphic design. His images still appear on book covers, album art, and film posters. These museum coasters offer a playful way to live with his surreal questions every day.
