Live the Surreal
From 10:00 to 17:00 from 18 September 2026 until 29 August 2027
Exhibition
The exhibition explores surrealism not as a purely European art movement, but as a global way of thinking: a creative and activist mindset that has taken shape across different eras, continents and cultures.
Highlights
Works by dozens of artists are on display, including Julio Gálan, Tetsuya Ishida, Roberta Stoddart, Renée Stout, Yves Tanguy, Co Westerik and Santiago Yahuarcani. Artworks from the museum’s own collection are combined with international loans, highlights from institutions such as Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, and contemporary work by Rotterdam-based artists.
Universal
Featuring surrealist art from countries including Mexico, Australia, Trinidad and Indonesia, the exhibition demonstrates that the longing for a better world is a universal force.
