The Menil Collection, which is operated by the Menil Foundation,opened to the public in June 1987 as the primary repository of John & Dominique de Menil's private collection. The collection, one of the most significant of the 20th century, consists of nearly 15,000 works dating from the Paleolithic era to the present day. Although historically vast, it uniquely resists the conventional museum model of the encyclopedia. One finds a selective approach to acquisition that yields depth with regard to particular areas and artists, with a concentration in surrealism.
