I didn't know much about Dali before I went, except that he was an artist. Now I know that he was extremely talented, had some bizarre sexual ideas, and either had an altered state of mind or used hallucinogenics. Regular folks can't even IMAGINE in their wildest dreams the sort of scenes that Dali painted. I liked the museum a... more

I really liked this museum although I thought it was going to be bigger but anyways the art work presented there is quite interesting ranging from a young Dali with techniques and paintings that you will not believe are his to the well known surrealism projects. The guides were very informative but I think you need to explore the museum... more

I was visiting friends in the area and they suggested going to the Dali museum. After 5 PM on Thursdays, the museum is discounted to $5. We took a guided tour and the tour guide wore a Dali inspired outfit. She was knowledable about the collections and about Dali's life, was engaging and good with the diverse age group. She... more

Thursday after 5:00 PM admission is only $5. We got lucky and visited on a Thursday night not knowing this in advance. there are also discounts for seniors (65+), teachers, students, military, and US police and firefighters (all require id). I loved the museum and my teenage boys were very impressed, especially with the larger works and the elderly docent... more

The dali museum was WAY better than I had expected. I had heard mixed feelings about it, some said it was really small, some said it was too expensive. Firstly, It is only 17 dollars for adults, and free to USF students. Awesome. Secondly, wow....there is LOTS of works in the museum. You can see many of the different styles... more

I have to say my knowledge about Dali was mainly about his more abstract works of art, so I decided last minute to go see the museum. I am now totally hooked on Dali. If you like finding a painting in a painting, details such as an inch long figure in a 15 foot high painting, lovely location by the... more

If you have never seen Dali's painting, than you must go. Many of his paints have two or three diffrent paintings in one. You think you're looking at something and than you step back, and you see a completely different painting, It Amazing That's all I'm going to say, go and see for yourself. Also every hour they give you... more

My Wife and I took my parents here as my Mom is a fan of Art Museums. The museum is nice and has guided and self tours. We chose to take the self tour but also hung out around the guided tour to hear the museum's take on certain paintings. The content of the museum is great and I felt... more

My husband and I are not really even art enthusiasts, per se, but we really did enjoy this museum and learned MUCH about Salvador Dali! There are guided tours and self-tours. We ended up doing both because the group for the guided tour was quite large, so it was easier to walk around on our own and listen to the... more

This is a great museum featuring the works of a brilliant and very bizarre man. Our family enjoyed it a lot. There's plenty of parking and the staff is friendly. I wish we could have gone on one of the narrated tours- call ahead to see what time they are. A word of caution- many of the paintings are sexually... more
