Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection

There have been artists who looked at the world around them, and saw something different than we mere mortals. These artists then recorded their image of the world, and challenged us all to look again. They were of course the surrealists, to whom the Scharf-Gerstenberg collection owned by the National Museum, pays tribute. The collection covers all aspects of surrealism, from the very beginnings to its more developed and sometimes obscure forms. Works on display include those of Piranesi, Goya and Redon to Dalí, Magritte, Max Ernst and Dubuffet.
