ATTENTION
From May 1, 2023, the exhibition is temporarily closed to the public until a date to be defined.
THE TOUR
The exhibition highlights Salvador Dalí's interest in sciences, and recounts the studies of Galileo Galilei, who, after his abjuration, lived in Palazzo Delle Papesse; it displays artworks by the Master of Surrealism which challenges the fundamental concepts of physics and mathematics: space, time and gravity.
From Newton to the most significant physicists of the twentieth century, the exhibition organized by The Dalí Universe allows the visitor to know and discover a little-known aspect of Dalí's genius: the one inspired by science.
The path unfolds to reveal the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20s, extremely complex concepts that Dalí manages to sublimate into simple, surreal, evocative images: soft clocks, representing Time and its relativity, drawers, a symbol of the unconscious, references to mathematics, with studies on Platonic solids, the golden ratio and the fourth dimension.
