NCMA invites visitors into a world where reality takes myriad forms, and the line between truth and imagination disappears. From dreamlike landscapes and uncanny portraits to images so exact they look like photographs, these works challenge what we see and what we believe.

On view through March 8, 2026, Real, Surreal, and Photoreal features 125 works from 80 American and European artists.

“These artists have documented the visual specifics of everyday life with unforgettable images,” stated chief curator Franklin Hill Perrell, “While their motives and results differ widely, their works communicate a poignant commentary on the times, delivering insight and understanding into the world around us.”
