the current day; spanning classic Surrealist works of art and design as
well as contemporary surrealist responses.

influential movements came to impact design through its questioning of
the conventional and its commitment to exploring the mind, unconscious
and mystical.

interior design, fashion, photography and world-renowned artworks from
Surrealist pioneers such as Salvador Dalí, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Leonora Carrington and Lee Miller, through to contemporary artists and designs, such as Schiaparelli, Dior, Björk.
