We didn't really know what to expect, but had a wonderful time at this museum. My advice - go through with one of the guided tours to get perspective and history on Dali's work, and then go back through the museum to look at each piece. The museum is really remarkable. more

Loved it.

It had been 20 years since I had been there last, but 1st time for my wife. Very impressive. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the pieces she focused on. Spent a good 2 hrs there on a Sat morning. Will return after they finish the new bigger building, which will open some time next year. more

An interesting collection spanning the progression of Dali's work and a nice selection of masterworks. However, we were very disappointed at the size of the museum versus the admission cost. Also, had hoped the museum would have some of Dali's photographic collaborations, but, alas there were none. The loudmouth pontifications of a fellow museum goer were a huge turnoff as... more

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
