A large collection of latin american paintings and sculptures, which also includes some European work like Dali and Miro. The building is a monument to "starcases", so beware elderly people or people with disabilities. Never seen so many stairs in one place. It is free, but find out in advance as the place has the weirdest hours of any museum... More

This art gallery supports South American artists both painters and sculpturers. Well laid out, with a good selection of Salvidor Dali sculptures. Entrance was free, and no donations were requested.

I'm a museum junkie and in particular I love Surrealism. I could have stayed here for hours but sadly I was on a group tour and had about 45 mins. The Dali works are impressive - well worth the trip.

The Ralli has a beautiful collection of art with many pieces by Dali. The art is well arranged and displayed, both indoors and out. One can sit and enjoy the art. I was surprised that it got a rather grumpy review from the Bradt guide on Uruguay. We felt it was a highlight of our time in Punta del Este.

This open, free access art collection is just one of the family's outstanding museums located around the world. No museum store and nothing to purchase, just fabulous artworks. The internal garden has a stunning collection of Dali's works with family sculptures perfectly placed in situ. Take the time to view the collection and enjoy. Impressive!

Stunning museum, great open sculpture garden, works of Dali on display. This is one of the five locations in the world, signifying amazing humanitarian work by its owner.

Most unusual and diversified. It is free and a must see if you are artistic with a modern twist, many of which make you think what was on the artist's mind. Well laid out and plenty of room to sit and enjoy.

as a result of a wealthy banker's generosity, one of the Ralli musuems (other are skattered around the globe) is here. A few Salvador Dali's little sculptures and a latin american art collection deserve your visit.

Despite not being remotely a devotee of contemporary art, the Ralli Museum is really interesting and well worth a visit. Displays vary from the contemporary to the traditional and showcase Latin American artists. The works are well laid out and the Museum itself is located in the Beverly Hills area of Punte del Este - itself an interesting residential area... More

I imagined it was a classic car museum, but it was a completely different story. It's well-kept, but I did not think it was worth driving a long way to visit. Just some interesting sculptures in the inner patio.
