Man Ray: When Objects Dream at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the first major exhibition to examine the radical experimentation of American artist Man Ray (1890–1976) through one of his most significant bodies of work, the rayograph. Man Ray coined the term to name his version of the 19th-century technique of making photographs without a camera.

Featuring 160 rayographs, paintings, objects, prints, drawings, films, and photographs, Man Ray: When Objects Dream highlights the principal place of the rayograph—a type of cameraless photograph—within the context of many of the artist’s most important works. This exhibition includes thirty-five works by Man Ray which are part of the major promised gift of nearly 200.
