The Dali Museum has over 200,000 visitors annually from around the world maybe because there is much more to do at the museum than just look at the fabulous exhibits they also have two film series, lectures and concerts. The Museum Store has books and educational material that add to and extend the exhibition experience.
The Museum opened its doors in St. Petersburg in March 1982, and then in January of 1989 a two-story, 11,000 square foot addition called the Raymond James Community Room was opened to help accommodate the museum’s many programs and activities. With this and other expansions the Dali Museum started a program of loaning works and having changing exhibitions. Today, the Dali Museum maintains strong partnerships not only with the community of St. Petersburg but also museums and educational institutions around the world. The museum continues to preserve and protect its collection, while still making them open and accessible for the enjoyment and education of all people, enhancing the public’s appreciation of Salvador Dali and his many great works.
