It can take a long time to light 100 candles on a cake. That's why the Centre Pompidou has decided to celebrate 100 years of Surrealism in a different way. The Musée d'Art Moderne is organizing a major exhibition around this mid-twentieth-century movement, to be seen from September 4, 2024 to January 13, 2025.

The exhibition Surrealism. L'exposition du centenaire (1924-1969) brings together a (very) large number of works by the movement's leading artists. Salvador Dali, René Magritte, Dorothea Tanning, Tatsuo Ikeda, Giorgio de Chirico, Leonora Carrington, Max Ernst, Helen Lundeberg, Joan Miro and many others can be found in this artistic journey conceived as a labyrinth, which houses at its heartAndré Breton's original Manifesto, the founding text of Surrealism. This exceptional document leaves the collections of the Bibliothèque nationale de France for this unique occasion.

Sculptures, paintings, photographs, drawings, films, poetry and literary documents: the exhibition at the Centre Pompidou brings together Surrealist works from all artistic disciplines, from famous and emblematic creations of the period to more confidential works.

As soon as we enter the exhibition, the Centre Pompidou plunges us into this whimsical, bizarre, colorful, sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing, sometimes poetic universe. All the diversity of surrealist art is represented in this huge exhibition that seems endless. Take your time and look everywhere: there are paintings high up on the walls, installations hidden in the nooks and crannies... Everywhere you look, you'll find famous and iconic works, as well as original and surprising creations.
