A friend and I went to visit the Dali Universe today as she loves Dali's work. And to be fare it is a total rip-off. Paying £14.00 for a single entrance it is really expensive. The venue is not really clean and none of Dali's Art Work are present in the venue. I will never recommend the Dali universe to... more

I paid almost $30.00 Canadian to look at a bunch of posters!? There are no notable works of art here. Most, if not all of the 'works' on display are reproductions, prints, and pieces 'inspired' by Dali. There is absolutely nothing of interest to an art lover here. The 'Dali Universe' is a 100 % scam. Why pay money to... more

I found that for £12 it wasn't value for money and whilst his sketches interested me I thought i was paying to see his famous works... i understand that the majority of these would be held in the Barcelona exhibition but it left me feeling slightly cheated as it was as if the London exhibiton was just there to show... more

there is far more in this place then you might think. lovely staff helped us reduce the entrance price with a student and 20% map discount (you can get these maps anywhere and they have vouchers for london attractions). there is great variety and you see many pieces that are not as well known, a scattering of furniture, sculpture, sketches... more

Dali's work is not something i have an interest in really. A couple of weeks ago i came to London for a weeks holiday. On my last day i went into the Dali Exhibition, at County Hall. It was on behalf of my daughter really, who loves Dali's work. I did think it was a bit expensive at £12.00, but... more

I just read the review "misleading and a rip-off".. 5 days ago i visited this exhibition and i was shattered. I thought I knew Dali well because I am acquainted with his most popular works. But there, in the gloomy rooms of the gallery i managed to gain a real insight into this man's bizzarre world...it was awesome, we spent... more

A gallery devoted to the Spanish artist Salvador Dali, this attraction is located just across Westminster Bridge in County Hall, next to the London Eye. Admission per adult is 8 pounds fifty ($16.00 USD), The exhibit features mostly insincere sketches made by the famous abstractionist, but also houses some of his more competent metal sculptures and furniture designs. The pieces... more

I am appalled that this shoddy exhibition is cynically located to catch out the unwary tourist and indeed Londoners like ourselves. We paid £12 per adult and £8 per child which is extortionate considering the true works of art available in London for free. The shop at the entrance contains numerous posters of the Dali works we all know and... more

We went to Dali Universe on a whim when we were walking by the London Eye in London. It cost about 6 Pounds and it was a complete waste of money. It's very small and although a few of the works are interesting, the whole "Universe" experience is not worth the coin. Considering the US Dollar is so weak against... more
