JUNE 12, 2025 - JUNE 14, 2026
America Fantastica: Memories, Dreams, and Chance is not your typical museum exhibition - it's an adventure in surrealism to delight the senses and invite collaboration. This extraordinary show brings together seven exceptional works on loan from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), two from the innovative Art Bridges Collection, and a special piece from a local private collector. These treasures are paired with standout paintings and drawings from COMU's own collection - celebrating our decades-long focus on surrealism, dating back to our first acquisitions in the 1950s.
Dive into a dreamlike atmosphere that makes a nod to pivotal moments in American surrealism, including the legendary "mile of string" installation from Marcel Duchamp and the iconic View magazine cover by Joseph Cornell.
Thanks to generous support from Art Bridges, you'll discover interactivity woven throughout the show, including a can't-miss tech display where visitors of all ages can play the classic exquisite corpse drawing game! Collaborate, create, and laugh with friends, family, and total strangers, and watch surrealism come to life before your eyes. Don't just visit - experience it!
