One of five couches based on the lips of Mae West, produced by Dali in 1973, will be on display.
Hedley Swain, the museum’s chief executive officer, said: “Passion, Power & Protest explores some of the most pressing questions in society today, who holds power, what do we care about, and how can we create change?”
And Hazel Edwards, south east area director for Arts Council England, added: “Passion, Power & Protest is a powerful reopening exhibition that reflects the museum’s commitment to telling inclusive, challenging, and inspiring stories.”
