January 14鈥揗ay 17, 2025 Memories of Surrealism is a suite of twelve prints that Dali created in 1971 as a reflection on his long artistic career. The prints were commissioned by Alex Rosenberg and published in New York by Transworld Art Corporation.

ABOUT OUR EXHIBITIONS
The Kruizenga Art Museum galleries are typically installed with a mix of temporary exhibitions and permanent collection displays. These exhibitions and displays are planned to complement course offerings in the college鈥檚 academic curriculum and usually change, partially or completely, at the beginning of each semester.
The museum鈥檚 exhibitions are further augmented by lectures, artist demonstrations, film series, musical concerts, dance and theater performances and other relevant educational programs. An endowment gift from Holland residents Dave and Jane Armstrong provides funding for at least one exhibition-related lecture every year, while other programs are made possible through annual gifts and campus partnerships.
