The exhibition was produced by Gong Zhaohui, an alumnus of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University. A collector of prints by Dali himself, Gong and curator of the exhibition Wang Xun also borrowed the works of Dali from collectors and institutions from home and abroad.

Dali being the most celebrated Surrealist artist in the 20th century, created lots of works reflecting on the large number of new findings and achievements in the scientific world of his lifetime, from psychology to quantum physics and life science. Gong hopes that students of Fudan University will be inspired by the creations of Dali.
