Renilde Hammacher, Curator for Modern Art, ensured that Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen came into possession of a large collection of surrealistic art. She thought the museum eminently suitable for drawing attention to surrealism, thanks to the collection of works by Hieronymus Bosch and the Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel.

Dalí visits Boijmans

Salvador Dalí attended the opening of his exhibition. “He forgot for a moment to be Dalí”, remembers Ebbinge Wubben, the museum director at the time. The website of the Dutch Photo Museum has a photograph of the artist in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

Salvador Dalí exhibition 1970

In the winter months of 1970, ten thousand enthusiasts armed themselves against the bitter cold and formed long queues for the first exhibition in the Netherlands dedicated to the world-famous surrealist artist Salvador Dalí (1901-1989).

It would not be the last Dalí exhibition in Rotterdam. The exhibition Everything Dalí followed 35 years later, in 2005, and featured the contribution Dalí made to film, fashion, advertising and photography.

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is the only museum in the Netherlands with a collection of surrealistic art, including a large number of works by Salvador Dalí.
