Enjoy a private tour for two (2) at the Salvadore Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, FL. The museum, located in downtown St. Petersburg waterfront, houses the largest collection outside Europe of the works of Dalí.  Considered one of "A Thousand Places to see Before you Die", this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for lovers of Dali's works.  

The museum's collection includes 96 oil paintings, over 100 watercolors and drawings, 1,300 graphics, photographs, sculptures and objets d'art, and an extensive archival library, and displays are periodically rotated.

The museum is home to 7 of the 18 masterwork paintings by Dalí (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.

In addition to displaying the work of Dalí, the museum aims to educate the public and promote understanding, enjoyment and scholarly examination of art through the exhibition of works by Dalí and artists of similar vision.

There will also be a special exhibit of the works of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, which includes paintings from museums or private homes abroad, many of which have never been publicly viewed. Learn more about this influential artist at http://www.pablopicasso.org    

Lunch at Cafe Gala is also included with the tour.
