Introduction

This remarkable exhibition is the first to explore the influence of Surrealism on the world of design: theatre, interiors, fashion,film, architecture, and advertising. Showcasing approximately 250 objects drawn from public and private collections worldwide—many of which have never been exhibited before—Surreal Things emphasizes the tensions that arose from the increasing commercialization of Surrealism’s visual aesthetic.
