BUÑUEL: MASTER OF DREAMS - The Unveiling of Luis Buñuel

An International Exhibition Celebrating 100 Years of Surrealism

This Día de los Muertos, witness a historic moment at the International Museum of Surgical Science as the ashes of legendary filmmaker Luis Buñuel travel from Hollywood to Chicago for the first time.

Join us at 12:00 PM on Sunday, November 2, 2025, for the unveiling ceremony of Buñuel: Master of Dreams, a groundbreaking exhibition that transforms the Museum into a cinematic sanctuary exploring the surrealist master’s lifelong obsessions—faith, medicine, eroticism, and the subconscious.

Guests are invited to bring a symbolic offering—a flower, a written dream, or a reflection—to place beside the urn in a collective gesture of remembrance.
