coffee with a curator
May 6 @ 10:30am – 11:30am
Join us for this month’s installment of our Coffee with a Curator series, where Museum staff or invited guests speak on a range of Salvador Dalí-inspired topics. This month, members of our Visitor Experience team take center stage to share the moments that remind them why this work matters.
Drawing on testimonials from visitors whose lives were touched by their time at The Dalí, team members will pair these stories with personal reflections on the works that have moved, challenged or sustained them—a conversation about art, connection and why people come to a place like this when it counts most.
Location: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater (registration required) or live on YouTube (link below).
This event is free with limited capacity. An event ticket is required for entry.
Gallery access is not included.
