Dali Museum. The Salvador Dali Museum is an art museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States, dedicated to the works of Salvador Dali.
Designed by Yann Weymouth, the museum is located on the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront by 5th Avenue Southeast, Bay Shore Drive, and Dan Wheldon Way. Reportedly costing over $30 million, the surrealism-inspired museum structure features a large glass entryway and skylight made of 1.5-inch thick glass.
Referred to as the Enigma, the glass entryway is 75 feet tall and encompasses a spiral staircase. The remaining walls are composed of 18-inch thick concrete, designed to protect the collection from hurricanes which hit the region from time to time.
The museum is a member of the American Alliance of Museums and of the North American Reciprocal Museums program. The museum features a variety of different events for families to attend.
Some events include performances, workshops, films, lectures, different types of fundraising, and food and drink events. Many previous events have allowed members to participate in handmade holiday card workshops where participants created their very own holiday card including a Dali theme. In addition, there has been weekly poetry performances and lectures such as coffee with a curator, a presentation on a theme-oriented topic that discusses a variety of topics in relation to Dali.
