\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\, 
 Surrealism produced some of the most extraordinary objects ever created. Th
 is exhibition will bring together many of these rarely seen works for the v
 ery first time.
\n
\nThe exhibition will explore how Surrealism evolved fro
 m radical avant-garde beginnings to become one  of the most influential mov
 ements of the century and a common visual language of modernity. It will tr
 ace the development of Surrealism from the creation of the first objects in
  the 1920s to its commercialisation after World War II\, as the movement wa
 s absorbed into the worlds of fashion\, commercial design\, graphics and fi
 lm.
