One of the more unusual art exhibitions can be found down at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in South London.  Most people tend to think of surrealistic art being a product of the twentieth century – this exhibition highlights the fact that British artists were using surrealistic techniques as long as 1783 when Henry Fuseli created his amazing portrait of the three witches from Macbeth.
