Guided tour | Against the Current. The Surrealist Group. 1934–2024

The guided tours trace the story of the Czech and Slovak Surrealist Group from its founding in 1934 to the present day. Along the way, we will encounter key figures and works, explore the remarkable continuity of Czech Surrealism, and consider its connections with the international Surrealist movement. We will also examine how the work of successive generations evolved in response to changing social and political circumstances. Particular attention will be given to the periods when the movement was forced underground, and to the ways in which Surrealist artists sought new directions, raised new questions, and continually re-examined the fundamental principles of Surrealism. The exhibition also shows that the Czech Surrealist Group is not merely a chapter in art history, but remains a living and active movement today.
