The Dali Museum
Visit the world's most comprehensive collection of works by the late Spanish surrealist. Come see why the Michelin Guide gave us the only three star rating on Florida's west coast!
The Salvador Dalí Museum officially opened to the public on March 10, 1982, and since that time has attracted millions of visitors from around the world (six out of every ten come from outside the U.S.). In January of 1989, the museum opened the Raymond James Community Room, a two-story, 11,000 square foot addition used for museum programming, lectures, workshops, and independent private functions. And in 1995 major renovations to the original gallery space added interior walls to form six galleries and 125% more exhibit space for visiting exhibitions and the museum's collection which now consists of 96 oils, 100+ watercolors and drawings, and over 1,300 graphics, sculptures, objects d'art, and photographs.
Today, together with Dalí's own museum in Spain, the Theatre-Museu Gala-Salvador Dalí our two institutions constitute the most comprehensive collections of the artists work and research archives in the world. The Dalí Museum St. Petersburg is a global community treasure in Florida.
