The world premiere of Dalí Alive 360° celebrates the life and creative genius of one of the most influential and inventive artists of the modern era, Salvador Dalí.

Dalí Alive 360 takes place inside a newly constructed dome

The dynamic animations of Dalí’s works featured in Dalí Alive 360° illuminate the challenges and triumphs of his artistic career and provide visitors the sensation of stepping into the life of Dalí himself. The experience immerses the visitor in Dalí’s surreal landscapes, iconic melting clocks and mind-bending illusions with touchpoints from the artist’s childhood in Spain, through his introduction to the surrealist circles in Paris, his refuge in America and finally his return to Spain. Each of these eras of the artist’s life prompted a response from Dalí, leading to his constant reinvention.

Constructed in the Museum’s Avant-garden, the climate-controlled Dome’s steel framework stands 39 feet tall and 60 feet in diameter. It is designed to withstand pressures from hurricane winds and storm surges. Inside the Dome, the projection-mapped digital images will dynamically display from the floor to the top of the structure. Dalí Alive 360° continues The Dalí’s journey as a leader in cutting-edge cultural experiences furthering the Museum’s mission to present the life and works of Salvador Dalí in engaging, accessible ways.
