Reynolds Morse and Eleanor Morse (close friends of Dali) over a 45-year period, it is celebrated for its 96 oil paintings.Art connoisseur or not, you will be enthralled by this St Petersburg Florida tourist attraction which pays tribute to the czar of surrealism, Salvador Dali. It has become one of the most popular Florida tourist attractions.
Dali is best known for his dreamlike paintings in which he showed people and objects transformed into fantastic images that were often set in deserted landscapes.
Upon entering the Museum you find yourself confronted with Dali's work which can be a real "mind-bender". It's recommended you take a Guided Tour which informs you of the artist's work and what he was trying to convey.
Half the fun is comparing your perception with that of the artist!
Florida's top-rated museum offers constantly changing exhibits that present a variety of activities including films, gallery talks and special exhibitions throughout the year. Like other Florida tourist attractions, the museum frequently changes what the public is going to see to keep interest at high levels.
