The Dalí
This, well, surreal museum houses the world’s most comprehensive (and most valuable, at $125 million) collection of works by the renowned Spanish artist Salvador Dalí. That includes oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, and more than 2,400 graphics, plus posters, photos, sculptures, objets d’art, and a 5,000-volume library on Dalí and surrealism. Take one of the free docent-led tours to get the most out of the museum. The building is a work of art, too, nicknamed “The Glass Enigma” and featuring 900 triangular-shaped glass panels—a 21st-century expression of Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome, as utilized in Dalí’s Teatro Museo in Figueres, Spain. The museum’s magnificent Dalí Alive 360° is an immersive experience enveloping visitors in 360 degrees of light and sound, within a monumental new museum space, The Dalí Dome.
