Join a guided tour of the exhibition “The Subterranean Sky – Surrealism in the Moderna Museet Collection” with the exhibition’s curator Lena Essling. The tour explores several of the works in Moderna Museet’s world-famous Surrealist collection.

The Subterranean Sky – Surrealism in the Moderna Museet Collection” offers a journey through the ever-ongoing evolution of Surrealism. The exhibition includes nearly 200 works from the Moderna Museet Collection and around 30 loans from other art collections, libraries and archives, particularly focusing on film, literature and the performing arts.

Surrealism is a revolutionary literary and artistic movement – far more than just a particular style. It wants to free man from cultural and social limitations, and the individual’s subconscious is key to another, better world beyond restraining logic and reason.
