You can stroll through Dalí Paris, room after room, corridor after corridor, admiring the collection of weirdly brilliant paintings, etchings, sculptures, furniture and surrealist objects. Dalí used a wide variety of materials, and his inspiration was seemingly boundless. The gallery takes advantage of Dalí’s love of illusion and the perception of reality.

Dalí Paris highlights

Paris is known as one of the cultural capitals of the world, so it’s fitting that Dalí Paris has such an extensive collection of works that Parisians and world travellers come to appreciate. Dalí is most known for his unique sculptures, but his graphic works number in the hundreds and are just as surreal.

The gallery is home to 2 of Dalí’s most visually appealing works: 'Antiflower', a glowing neon yellow and clear glass moulding, and 'Persistence of Memory', featuring the famous melting clocks. When you visit, you can also learn about the bronze lost-wax process, which was integral to many of Dalí’s creations.
