\n
\nWhile 
 many exhibitions have explored Surrealism as a movement in literature and t
 he fine arts\, Surreal Things will be the first to examine its impact on ar
 chitecture\, design and the decorative arts. It will present a new approach
  to the subject\, focusing on the creation of surrealist objects\, whether 
 unique works of art or examples of modern design.
\n
\nFrom the sensuality 
 of Dali’s Mae West Lips sofa to Schiaparelli’s disturbing Tear dress\, Surr
 ealism produced some of the most extraordinary objects ever created. This e
 xhibition will bring together many of these rarely seen works for the very 
 first time.
\n
\nThe exhibition will explore how Surrealism evolved from ra
 dical avant-garde beginnings to become one  of the most influential movemen
 ts of the century and a common visual language of modernity. It will trace 
 the development of Surrealism from the creation of the first objects in the
  1920s to its commercialisation after World War II\, as the movement was ab
 sorbed into the worlds of fashion\, commercial design\, graphics and film.
