Salvador Dali, one of the most interesting painters of the 20th century was, let’s say, a tad eccentric – but a genius nevertheless.  The new Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL does a great job of presenting of how Salvador Dali evolved his style in a way that a layperson like me can grasp and enjoy.  Guided tour and/or audio guide are included in the price of the ticket which makes it an easy decision – and makes the experience and appreciation VASTLY more meaningful.  I left with a better understanding of Dali, his motivators, and his evolution.

Here are some pix of the museum and its grounds (but none of the art!).

The cars at the entrance of the museum (not sure the purpose)

The top of the spiral staircase which reminded me of the tip of Dali’s mustache

This serranita sandwich at the museum cafe was good but those olives were really outstanding!!

Entry wrist tags at the wish tree – clever idea to avoid trash around the parking lot!
