“WHAT’S GOING TO BE SURPRISING TO THE VISITOR IS WE DO HAVE PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURES, BUT ACTUALLY WE ALSO HAVE FURNITURE TEXTILES, FASHION, THEATER DESIGN, AND INTERIOR DESIGN”

(**V/O**)
THE ODD, THE UNUSUAL, THE DOWNRIGHT STRANGE – THEY’RE ALL PART OF THIS NEW EXHIBITION WHICH TAKES A LOOK AT HOW SURREALISM MOVED OUT OF THE ART REALM AND INTO EVERYDAY LIFE.
THE SHOW COMES TO TORONTO AFTER THREE EUROPEAN STOPS, WHICH ATTRACTED NEARLY EIGHT-HUNDRED-THOUSAND VISITORS.
THIS IS THE EXHIBIT’S FIRST AND ONLY NORTH AMERICAN STOP. IT WILL BE AT THE A-G-O UNTIL AUGUST 30TH.
