A new long-term installation opening July 23 includes paintings, sculpture works on paper drawn from the Menils renowned holdings of works by such artists as Rene Magritte, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Victor Brauner and Man Ray. It will feature a wunderkammer, or room of wonders, housing curiosities (African artifacts and astronomical instruments, for example) that fascinated and inspired the Surrealists.
