Exhibits

Visitors have the opportunity to further their understanding of unique artistic genres with the Museum’s exclusive artificial intelligence (AI) experience, YOUR PORTAIT, which transforms their selfie into a one-of-a-kind digital work of art.

In this free exhibit at The Dalí, Leonora Carrington: Writer, Painter, Visionary is an introduction to the remarkable life of Leonora Carrington, a Surrealist artist, sculptor and writer whose work deals with the visionary, the fantastic and the occult. Carrington produced more than 2,000 paintings and authored several notable written works. The exhibition will highlight Carrington’s personal life, her time as a painter and her written work.

This exhibition brings together approximately 100 rarely seen works on paper from The Dalí Museum’s permanent collection. Spanning the entire length of Dalí’s creative life, from 1916 through 1974, the exhibition provides insight into the artist’s creative process as seen over a variety of media, including pencil, pen, charcoal, watercolor, gouache, and more. Included in the exhibition are two new surrealist acquisitions by The Dalí Museum — the ballet-related portrait of King Ludwig for Bacchanale and the frontispiece The Disappearing Face as well as many recently-conserved works on view for the first time in over three decades, which are rarely displayed due to their delicate nature.

In this free exhibit, and in the spirit of inclusion at The Dalí, we want to provide a space where staff can share their creative endeavors with each other, the community and beyond—an opportunity to show multiple artistic expressions and perspectives.

Initiated in 1992, this annual art exhibit presents work by middle and high school students whom we invite to explore ideas and visions similar to those explored by Salvador Dalí and the surrealists.
