Erwin Wurm at Museo Fortuny: Dreamers in Venice until November

What happens when an everyday object refuses to behave as expected? At Museo Fortuny in Venice, Erwin Wurm’s exhibition Dreamers turns that playful question into an encounter with contemporary sculpture. The show runs from 6 May to 22 November 2026.

Why this exhibition is different

Wurm is known for his One Minute Sculptures, works that invite people to imagine or perform an action involving ordinary objects. In his wider practice, familiar forms swell, twist and acquire unexpected personalities. Humour is the first invitation; questions about the body, consumption and contemporary life arrive afterwards.

The exhibition is especially appealing to visitors who enjoy art that challenges their habits of looking. You do not need specialist knowledge. Curiosity, and a willingness to be surprised, are enough to begin.

The setting is part of the experience

Museo Fortuny occupies a distinctive historic Venetian building, making the dialogue between art and architecture as memorable as individual works. Combine the visit with a slow walk through San Marco’s quieter streets rather than another crowded attraction.

For a couple on a cultural weekend, this can become an unexpected talking point over dinner. From Bloom & Settimo Cielo in Campo Santo Stefano, the museum fits naturally into an art-focused day that might also include the Accademia area.
