About us
The world-renowned Dalí Museum is located on the picturesque downtown St. Petersburg, FL waterfront where visitors get a glimpse of Salvador Dalí 's world and an unparalleled collection of his finest works, from iconic melting clocks to imaginative visual illusions and avant-garde symbols. Guests can shop, play, wander and quench their curiosity for all that is Salvador Dalí and beyond. The Museum is also home to Innovation Labs at The Dalí, a one-of-a-kind program that carefully combines more than 60 years of psychology and management research on creativity, creative problem solving and innovation, infused with Dalí's philosophy and methods to unlock a team’s true untapped creative potential. Innovation Labs at The Dalí offer unique and proven curricula for individuals, business teams and nonprofit staff & clients to learn about and practice creativity and innovation, stretch limits, get un-stuck and venture beyond the norm. Founded in 1982 by Reynolds and Eleanor Morse, The Dalí Museum is rich in works from Salvador Dalí's entire career (1904-1989), with key works from every moment and in every medium of his artistic activity. The Dalí's distinguished new building, which opened in January 2011, enables the Museum to protect and display the collection, welcome the public and educate and promote enjoyment. In a larger sense, it is a place of beauty which is dedicated, as is Dalí's art, to understanding and transformation. The Dalí is a one-of-a-kind destination that you simply have to experience for yourself—alone or with family and friends. The Museum welcomes you seven days a week.

#OnThisDay in 1928, Salvador Dalí exhibited his first painting in the U.S. at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, PA. "The Basket of Bread" (1926) was one of three works on display. Painted when Dalí was only 22 years old, this piece marks a pivotal moment in his career. It gave the artist a sense of pride and accomplishment, feeling like he had mastered this painting style. Dalí was then able to freely pivot to entirely different, more provocative subject matters. #TheDali #SalvadorDali #Painting #TampaBay #Florida #Museum 🖼️ Collection of The Dalí Museum, St. Petersburg, FL (USA); Gift of A.

It's official! Today is opening day of our new special exhibition, "Reimagining Nature: Dalí's Floral Fantasies." 🌷 Dalí once said, "The true painter must be able, with the most usual things to have the most unusual ideas." This exhibition presents three rarely displayed botanical print suites made by Dalí between 1968 and 1972, highlighting some of the most treasured works on paper in the Museum's permanent collection. On display together at the Museum for the first time in two decades, these prints showcase the power of transformation as Dalí reimagined traditional 18th and 19th century illustrations of fruits and flowers into surreal creations at the height of the Pop era.

Shine bright like a Dalí jewel ✨ Created by the artist in the late 1940s and early 1950s, these astonishing pieces were inspired by the themes and myths that obsessed him, transcribed into gold and precious stones. Dalí’s interest in designing jewelry dates back to January 1939, when he published an article in Vogue, “First Prophecy on Jewels.“ By 1941, Dalí began creating jewels with the Italian jeweler Fulco di Verdura, followed by a multi-decade relationship designing jewels with Carlos Alemany at the firm Alemany & Ertman out of the St. Regis Hotel in New York. See these and more jewels purchased by Museum Benefactors Eleanor and Reynolds Morse now on display at The Dalí Museum. #TheDali #SalvadorDali #Jewels 1: "Persistence of Memory" (1949).
