Dali
A cultured day out in Philadelphia: Salvador Dali
When I discovered that I would be in Philadelphia whilst the Salvador Dali exhibition was running, I just had to go. It was all sold out and I had no ticket. But, I had discovered that an English accent can get you far in the USA and it was worth a shot. So, I turned up at the Art Museum, explained how I was only there for the day and lo, behold, I got in.
Now, if I have to explain the genius of Dali to you, move along because there's no point. This was a truly amazing exhibit and a fantastic experience. No photos, it wasn't allowed for obvious reasons. But, here are some pics I came across, here and there. If you ever get a chance to see a Dali exhibition, go along, the bloke was immense!
I know what you're thinking. How come I saw this in Philadelphia, but it is in the Europeana section? Dali was Spanish and Philly got the Rodin bit. All's fair in love and art.
