Description
The Salvador Dali Museum is located in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S., and houses the largest collection outside Europe of the works of Salvador Dali. It is located on the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront on One Dali Boulevard. The new, larger and more hurricane secure museum opened on January 11, 2011 at 11AM. The museum's collection includes 96 oil paintings, over 100 watercolors and drawings, 1,300 graphics, photographs, sculptures and objects of art, and an extensive archival library, and displays are periodically rotated. The museum is home to 7 of the 18 masterwork paintings by Dal� (including The Hallucinogenic Toreador and The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus), the most of any museum in the world. To be considered a masterwork these paintings must be at least 5 feet in any direction and have been worked on for over a year. No photos allowed in the galleries. Info from Wikipedia. I know that Chip enjoys strange architecture and building designs. Zoom works and the Dali Gardens are to the left,
Arrived in New Hampshire safe and sound and will be working on catching up with my commenting in the coming days.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Wonderful looking architecture - great shot!
Glad you've arrived in north country safe and sound. That is a wild looking building!
There seems to be 'something' oozing out from the inside of the building, looking like soap bubbles ... ;)) definitely in the realm of the great man himself! BB Here is one of his many quotes: “Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.” ― Salvador Dalí Cheers BB
