Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100
November 8th, 2025 to February 16th, 2026
In his Manifesto of Surrealism of 1924, André Breton celebrated the unbridled imagination as the key to freedom in all aspects of life. Artists responded by inventing a wide variety of new expressive forms designed to stir up the human capacity for wonder and amazement. Dreamworld: Surrealism at 100 featured approximately two hundred works by more than seventy artists associated with the international Surrealist movement.
In coordination with the Centre Pompidou of Paris, the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique (Brussels), the Fundación MAPFRE (Madrid), and the Hamburger Kunsthalle (Hamburg), the PHam was the final stop of the exhibition tour. Each exhibit, in each location, has highlighted surrealist art that is unique to each location. The PHam was focused on European migrants fleeing to Mexico and the United States due to World War II.
