The exhibition shows around 250 surrealist photographs from the Dietmar Siegert Collection, which the Staatsgalerie was able to acquire in summer 2025 with funds from the Museumsstiftung Baden-Württemberg. The presentation takes place in dialog with around 30 paintings, drawings, sculptures and objects by Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, René Magritte, Max Ernst, Meret Oppenheim and others from the Staatsgalerie's collection as well as international museums and private collections.
