The Espace Dalí is a unique[editorializing] permanent exhibition in France entirely devoted to the master of surrealism[editorializing], Salvador Dalí and more particularly to his sculptures and engravings. The museum, near the famous Place du Tertre in Montmartre, has more than 300 original artworks which feature the phantasmagorical[editorializing] world of one of the major 20th century artists.
The Espace Dalí is France's biggest collection of Dalinian sculptures, which represent a significant[editorializing] aspect of the artistic creation of Dalí. The collection reveals three dimensional realizations of the most famous surrealistic images of the artist. Famous original sculptures such as the Space Elephant or Alice in Wonderland are obviously presented but the visitor also discovers other aspects of the Dalinian genius, with for example artworks made on paper such as Moses and monotheism, Memories of Surrealism, Don Quixote, etc.

[edit] The Museum
A phantasmagorical[editorializing] music guides the visitor from an artwork to the other, while creative workshops for children give them the opportunity to get familiarized with Dalí’s work. An art gallery is adjacent to the museum. In a way, the Espace Dalí looks like the artist : theatrical, phantasmagorical, colorful, in other words : surrealistic.[editorializing]
[edit] Temporary exhibitions
The Espace Dalí regularly plans new temporary exhibitions. After Dalí and fashion, the museum plans from the 19th of September 2008 to the 15th of January 2009, Dalí – Holograms and optics games.
Dalí was interested very early in both science and holograms. Therefore, this exhibition is dedicated to the artist's visual experiences and pays tribute to him, revisiting his work with the optical effects prism and three dimensional screens.
