Combining paintings, drawings, films, photographs and literary documents, the exhibition features works by the movement's emblematic artists (Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, Joan Miró), as well as by female Surrealists (including Leonora Carrington, Ithell Colquhoun and Dora Maar). Both chronological and thematic, the exhibition is punctuated by 14 chapters evoking the literary figures who inspired the movement (Lautréamont, Lewis Carroll, Sade...) and the poetic principles that structure its imagination (the artist-medium, the dream, the philosopher's stone, the forest...). At the heart of the exhibition is a central "drum" housing the original manuscript of the Manifesto, on exceptional loan from the Bibliothèque nationale de France. A multimedia projection accompanies the discovery of this unique document, illuminating its genesis and meaning.

Mission Recherche

The Amis invite you to discover the Nicolas Schöffer room at the Musée National d'Art Moderne. The museum has benefited from an exceptional donation that enhances its "cybernetic" art collection, including this exceptional robot sculpture by Nicolas Schöffer. Equipped with an electronic brain, photoelectric cells and microphones, the CYSP-1 sculpture reacts to changes in its light and sound environment by moving and setting in motion the colored plates that make it up. The restoration of this unique piece took several months.
