Description
The spectacular museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, is dedicated to the works of Salvador Dali, and it houses the largest collection of the artist's work outside Europe. Here, the exterior of the museum is seen in all its beauty surrounded by a garden that is part of the complex. The futuristic glass entryway and skylight is featured in this view. It is made of 1.5 inch thick glass. Referred to as the "Enigma", the entryway is 75 feet tall and encompasses a spiral staircase. The remaining walls are composed of 18-inch thick concrete, designed to protect the collection from hurricanes.
Dali's full name is Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquess of Dalí de Púbol. The flamboyant artist was a prominent Spanish surrealist born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain on May 11, 1904. He died January 23, 1989, in Figueres.
