Desktop: Dalí’s Masterworks in Augmented Reality

Currently on view at The Dalí Museum, experience eight Dalí Masterworks in the Museum’s permanent collection using augmented reality (AR) technology to further understand the meaning behind these monumental canvases and watch as art comes alive. Coined by Dalí Museum founder A. Reynolds Morse, the term “Masterworks” refers to Salvador Dalí’s paintings exceeding five feet in height or width, painted over a year or longer—they are both monumental in scale and critical Dalí paintings.
