What a great museum ! Admission isn't cheap but is worth it for special exhibits like the Warhol. Cafe has excellent wine and gazpacho , and the gardens are cute . Don't forget to make a wish at the tree

John McCombs

Great body of work. Be sure to follow the audio guide numbers as best you can since it is linear, and be sure to spend as much time as you can at the museum . Take advantage of tours too!

Angela Walters

Breath taking and awe inspiring museum . The collection of Dali works is impressive. Take your time through the gallery and be sure to talk to the docents. They are full of knowledge .

Donna

Amazing collection and very knowledgeable (and entertaining) docents will give you the scoop. Grab the audio tour as well for more detail on individual paintings . Hurry in for the Picasso comparisons

AmateurConcierge

Absolute must do when visiting the area. Great permanent collection from one of the most prolific artists of the modern era. The free tours are pretty entertaining. save time for the garden

Maria Henkel

Nice body of work from Dali’s life. The Magritte co-exhibit was fun and the immersive aspects were very unique for a museum . The cafe is also fast and delicious!!

Marie La Rue

Amazing place. Get the audio guide and learn more about Dali’s artistic processes and vision. Adjacent garden is wonderful.

Daniel Grayson

The docent tours run often (every 30 minutes during most of the day) and are excellent. I think my docent has a little crush on Dali.

Abbie Harris

A significant collection of works by Salvador Dali--the best outside of Spain. Free audio guide. See paintings you've studied in school or seen in books ! Nice small garden with hedge maze.

Nicole Carter

The audio guides are great to listen about the pieces of art . You will learn a lot. The little cafe is nice and USF students get free parking and free admission . Make sure to go into tge garden .

Dan

Absolutely loved this place. Great architecture and art . One of the must visit places in St. Pete. Do the guided tour if possible. So informative. Pricey admission but worth it.

Cody Carroll

Superb! Do yourself a favor and experience Dalí while you're in St. Petersburg. You're going to need a solid 3 hours to get a good feel for the his work exhibited here. Great collection!

Ian Houghton

I really great place that also hold pretty cool events too. Thursday's are the days to go. After 5pm it's only $10 per person. Also watch out for special showings they have. Currently Dali and Disney.

Donna LuLu

Take the free guided tour and then do the free self-guided tour . Learned so much you would never get on your own. The museum is beautiful and the tour guide was incredible. Worth every penny.

Krystall

Love love love love this place. They have some of his masterworks on display that you can stare at for hours and still find something new. A must see if you are in St. Pete.

Josie Ross

Beautiful! I love the art on the inside and the creative outside! I've been here many times, and it never lets down. Food variety could be wider...but overall, fun trip for an Florida vacation!

Dan

A really cool museum dedicated to the art of Dali that's in a place you wouldn't expect. Really lovely architecture too. Don't miss this if you're in the area.

nidhi

Great little museum . Take a free tour (or two- different perspectives from different docents) and then wander around for a few hours. You can spend 3 hours here.

Samantha Wood

Have a surreal experience exploring the artwork and life of Salvador Dali! In addition to artwork permanently on display, exhibits rotate throughout the year. Make sure to stop by the Avant-garden!

Melissa Meier

My favorite place to go when I visit family in the area. Don't miss out on the tour , they have so many stories behind some pieces you would never know.

Karen Dieter

Gorgeous new building that truly suits the surrealist masterpieces...much better than the old building . A definite must-see for anyone in the Tampa Bay area.

Michael NOVA Novilla

The Dali Museum is a MUST SEE while here in St. Pete! They created a world-class building worthy of Dali's incredible masterpieces! Oh and thank Amy for all of her hard work getting it built!

Bethany Culp

The architecture of the museum is as surreal as the work of Salvador Dali. I high recommend going on the tour to gain further insight into the mind of one of the greatest geniuses of all time.

Don't miss a chance to visit the largest private collection of Dali artwork in the world! It's absolutely free for USF students ! Grab an audio guide or enjoy the docent led tours (every hour).  

Sasha Ahles

Easily my favorite art museum that I've had the pleasure of visiting. Although to be fair , Dalí is one of my favorite artists , so I am a little biased.

Donna LuLu

Take the free tour with the guide & then go back & take the free self-guided tour . Even art newbies will fall in love with his work. Can't wait to go back again.

Cindy

Just go!! What an experience. Take the tour with the guide and then walk thru again at your own pace. We stayed 4 hours and had a delicious lunch too.

Debra Lermitte

Fascinating to hear about Dali and see his paintings . His works are amazingly complex. The tours are free & very worthwhile. There was an exhibit on Picasso as well today. Wonderful!!

Donia

Breath taking work from Dalí & cool building. Smaller than expected. Audio tour comes with ticket if wanted.

Connie Chiu

Such an amazing museum with great Dali exhibit and Escher. Architecture is stunning.

Christopher Nason

Beautiful building! The problem is the exhibit isn't worth paying $25 to see.

Rhea Triggers

At gala contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at twenty meters becomes the portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Turn around and use your sunglasses to reflect the painting and you'll see the amazingness.

Samra Bufkins, MJ, APR

This is a "must see" anytime you are in the area. The new building is a work of art in itself. The gift shop is fabulous.

Rick Bendix

This is a terrific small museum whose collection covers the entire span of Dali’s artistic career. The cafe and gift ship are outstanding.

Guto Vieira

The gardens are great! But The exhibition Is awesome! I suggest The tour : it's free And very good!!!

Katerina Kulikova

Great!! After the Dali, visit the Disney and Dali story! Run the 4d video! Unforgettable experience!

Jane Schildroth

Be sure to join a docent-led tour . We learned so much and then did the audio tour , too. I liked it all much more than I had expected!

Hotel Indigo

While the remarkable Salvador Dali Museum hosts one of the largest collections by the subversive Spanish master, from oil paintings and watercolors to photographs and objects d’art.

Joanna

Amazing collection of Dali works . Download the free app for a free audio tour . Beautiful building.

Visit the Dalí Museum, home to the world's most comprehensive collection of works by the late Spanish surrealist. Check in with a photo of the labyrinth and tag #WhereSummerRocks.

Jeremy Pharo

Don't forget to pick up the free audio tour ipod/headset!

Julie

Ask for the headphones so you can hear about the paintings in detail! It's great! Also, love the GIANT mustache outside!

TIME

This museum houses the world's most comprehensive collection of the renowned Spanish artist 's work, with a permanent collection of 96 oil paintings spanning the years from 1917 to 1970.

Kitty Ibarra

Problem is the one in Spain curated by Dali himself is just breath taking.only pieces worth seeing are 80 photo etchings from goyas prints w/ drypoint & colored w/ pochpior on bfk.also a few masters

BRINK Magazine

Dali's paintings alone should entice you to visit, but the building's architecture & the outdoor "Avant-Garden" are great activities, too-- don't miss out on them! www.brinkmagonline.com

The cafe has gourmet selections and the patio has a beautiful view to go with the meal- in good weather.

Paula Freire

The building, the cultural complex, the permanent exhibition . You.must.go!

Think the dripping clocks are good? Wait till you see ‘Hallucinogenic Toreador’ in person. It’s brilliant and unnervingly surreal.
