The Dali Museum is a cultural and educational institution dedicated to increasing knowledge and awareness of Salvador Dali’s work and his spirit of discovery and intellectual adventure. Special exhibitions showcase other artists as they relate to Dali, and a representative sample from the permanent collection is always on view.
The collection was donated for the benefit of the people of Florida by Cleveland industrialist Reynolds Morse and his wife Eleanor. It represents the culmination of a 45-year friendship between the Morses and Salvador Dali and his wife, Gala. The Museum opened on March 7, 1982.
How many works are in the museum collection?
The museum hosts the largest collection of Dali's work outside of Spain, including eight masterworks and 96 oil paintings. We currently have a total of 2,140 Dali paintints, prints, sculptures and drawings.
Do you showcase work by other artists?
The museum frequently changes exhibitions, showcasing historical and contemporary art in addition to the permanent collection. A specialized schedule of films, lectures, concerts, adult and family friendly tours, and educational programs for all ages are developed for each new exhibition.
