Featuring Surrealist masters such as Magritte, Dalí and Brassaï, The show is also packed with some of the biggest names in contemporary art, including Sarah Lucas, Lucy Gunning and Turner-Prize winner Douglas Gordon. The 'must-see' of the exhibition is a new international commission, Kinderzimmer, by Venice Biennale prizewinner Gregor Schneider who has been described by The Times as the "enfant terrible of the German cultural scene".
