Coffee with a Curator

November 4 @ 10:30am 11:30am

the architecture of the dalí

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, Curator and Senior Interpreter Peter Tush explores The Architecture of The Dalí.

Inspired by the Museum’s evolution and upcoming expansion, the talk traces The Dalí’s story from its unlikely beginnings in Cleveland to its move to St. Petersburg, the creation of its iconic waterfront home and the transformations that followed. Discover how architecture has shaped the Museum’s identity—and get a glimpse of its next chapter as The Dalí prepares to expand once again.

Location: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater (registration required; seating first-come, first-served) 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.

Please note: This free lecture has limited seating and often sells out. Seating in the Will Raymund Theater is available on a first-come, first-served basis and a valid registration ticket—printed or on your phone—is required for entry. Ticketed guests who arrive after theater seating has filled, as well as guests without a registration ticket, may watch the live stream in the Raymond James Community Room as space allows.
