The Dali Museum

Located along St Petersburg's scenic waterfront, The Dali Museum is home to an important collection of Salvador Dali's art, spanning his lifetime. The dazzling building itself is a work of art with more than 1,000 triangular-shaped glass panels. Inside, you'll find more than 2,000 works - the largest collection outside of Europe - including oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, photographs, sculptures, drawings and other objects d'art. Free audio headsets offer detailed explanations of some of the paintings and a variety of programs, such as lectures, films and workshops are offered. In addition to the permanent exhibit, a host of rotating artists and photographers are on display throughout the year. A gift shop boasts a large assortment of Dali-inspired souvenirs and the charming Café Gala - named after Dali's wife -serves a Spanish-inspired menu featuring tapas, soups, salads, light bites and pastries with inside, or outside dining on the Avant Garden patio.
