Surreal Things
Surreal Things is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see three hundred of the most extraordinary objects ever created in a spectacular theatrical setting. This exhibition, which originated at the Victoria and Albert Museum, England, is the first to explore the influence of Surrealism on the worlds of fashion, design, theatre, interiors, film, architecture and advertising. It shows how artists engaged with design and how designers were inspired by Surrealism.

On View Now
Exploring the themes present in Egon Schiele’s work—landscapes, flowers, children, nudes, portraits, and self-portraits—this exhibition surveys the creative oeuvre of the great Austrian Expressionist, a significant figure of early 20th-century art who died prematurely when he was only 28.
