The gallery, historically linked to the Surrealist movement, presents an exhibition in three successive phases. From 6 September to 19 October, it will be possible to admire, contextualised and documented, two major works of Surrealism: Le Grand transparent by Jacques Hérold (1910-1987) and the costume for the execution of the will of the Marquis de Sade, a performance from 1959 by Jean Benoît (1922-2010).

The following two exhibitions will show the enduring influence of Surrealism on other artistic movements, for example, in the international Phases movement by Édouard Jaguer (1924-2006), or Jacques Carelman's pataphysics (1929-2012).

Finally, a third exhibition will feature the Anthropomorphic Machines by Fabian Sanchez (1934-2020). It will pay tribute to the influence of Lautréamont on the Surrealists, and the poet's famous line:
‘Beautiful as the chance encounter on a dissection table of a sewing machine and an umbrella.’
