The museum is designed to offer more than just a static viewing experience; it provides a gateway into the artist's creative process. While the permanent collection establishes his surrealist legacy, the space frequently hosts rotating exhibitions that explore different facets of his life—from his jewelry designs and high-fashion collaborations to his personal archives.
