From this Friday, anyone can experience Dulwich Picture Gallery’s acclaimed British Surrealism exhibition for free online, with a virtual walk through produced with The Net Gallery. Championing the British artists that contributed to the iconic surrealist movement, this major exhibition features over 70 eclectic artworks from 42 artists, including Leonora Carrington, Francis Bacon, Henry Moore, Paul Nash, Ithell Colquhoun, Conroy Maddox and many more.
The Gallery hope this gives as many people as possible the chance to experience this fantastic show (which sadly had a shorter run than expected). While the virtual exhibition is free, they encourage online visitors to make a donation (the standard entry ticket price is £15) to help support the Gallery as they face unprecedented financial challenges in the wake of COVID-19.
