An exhibition of paintings and drawings from the Bethlem Museum of the Mind’s Reserve Collection by British Surrealist artists in the 1930s whilst under the controlled influence of mescaline. The results of these hallucinations or ‘experimental psychosis’ are a vivid and revealing visual insight into the psychology of those involved.
