This Nassau County Museum of Art exhibit invites visitors into a world where reality is uncertain, dreams take shape, and the line between fact and imagination disappears. From dreamlike landscapes and uncanny portraits to images so exact that they appear to be photographs, these works challenge what we see and what we believe.

About the exhibition: Real, Surreal, and Photoreal on view November 22, 2025 through March 8, 2026, features works from American and European artists, including portraits by such noteworthy Realists as John Currin and Fairfield Porter; rare tapestries and works on paper by Surrealist masters Salvador Dalí and Man Ray; vibrant paintings by Alex Katz; sculpture by Long Island native Carole A. Feuerman; and paintings by John French Sloan and William James Glackens. The show reveals how all of these artists and many others have reflected the world around them. Real, Surreal, and Photoreal invites you to look closer — at art, reality, and the mysterious spaces in between. Museum Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 11 am - 4:45 pm. Exhibition Tours - Daily at 2 pm. Mansion Tours - Saturdays at 1 pm
