The Dali hosts over 10,000 students in group tours every year. These pre-booked tours are the core of delivering the Museum's education mission. All students K - 12th grades, during the school year, in groups of 10 or more, receive free admission to the Dali. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION. Museum docents provide regular tours to visiting students, and may also offer specialized tours upon request. While children's group tour fees are normally $5 per child, as an educational non-for-profit organization, the Dali Museum offers these pre-booked group tours for free during the school year, September through May, in commitment to inspiring interest and understanding of art among our youth.

The Dalivision Outreach to schools is similar to our outreach program for adults but is targeted to schools- from elementary to high school.

An annual exhibition presenting the work of Hillsborough and Pinellas County middle and high school students. This student exhibition demonstrates the ongoing popularity and attraction of Surrealism for new generations of artists. Bay Area art teachers conduct lessons on Dali and Surrealism and use fieldtrips as a way to prepare their students for the exhibit. Click here for more information about these student shows. The Dali Museum holds a reception to give awards to students in various categories.

A fast-paced video designed as a classroom aid for teachers as a pre-visit educational tool. In order to make student tours even more interesting and rewarding, this 30 minute video prepares students for their Dali Museum visit by introducing students to the artist himself, includes images and information about Surrealism, and suggests creative activities. Directed by Steve Burcham and made possible by a 1998 grant from the Pinellas County Arts Council, Get Surreal uses a fast paced format where "Dali TV" takes the viewer through a channel surfing adventure between vintage footage and live action. The two middle-school age hosts introduce students to Dali and Surrealism, and demonstrate classroom activities such as collage and the "Exquisite Corpse" game. The video is available for free to Pinellas County schools and may be requested through the Dali Museum Education Department. A 9-minute version of the video is available here.

Created in collaboration between the Dali Museum and the St. Petersburg Times, this great supplemental text contains classroom activities including a wide range of language arts and vocabulary exercises, using symbols, finding polygons, map reading, Spanish culture, and a special pull out section students can use to create their own newspaper. This fun and exciting student paper demonstrates the varieties of ways in which Dali's creativity and his fine art is connected with seemingly opposing media such as advertising, cinema, and fashion design. Copies are available for free to teachers and their students through the St. Petersburg Times' Newspaper in Education by clicking here.

Enterprise Village is an economic education facility founded by the Pinellas County School District and the Pinellas County Education Foundation. It is a program that teaches students the concepts of business and economics by requiring each student to choose a career for a day. As part of this project, one of the careers is curator for the model art center. In 1997, the Dali Museum made a gift of framed Dali reproductions for the art center "collection." The display is part of a hands-on work-related program. This economics program is required of every fifth grader in the Pinellas County school system, serving 17,000 school children each year. It operates from mid October through the end of May each year.
