What a great museum! Admission isn't cheap but is worth it for special exhibits like the Warhol. Cafe has excellent wine and gazpacho, and the gardens are cute. Don't forget to make a wish at the tree

Great body of work. Be sure to follow the audio guide numbers as best you can since it is linear, and be sure to spend as much time as you can at the museum. Take advantage of tours too!

Breath taking and awe inspiring museum. The collection of Dali works is impressive. Take your time through the gallery and be sure to talk to the docents. They are full of knowledge.
DonnaDecember 24, 2014
Amazing collection and very knowledgeable (and entertaining) docents will give you the scoop. Grab the audio tour as well for more detail on individual paintings. Hurry in for the Picasso comparisons
Daniel GraysonJanuary 17, 2020
The docent tours run often (every 30 minutes during most of the day) and are excellent. I think my docent has a little crush on Dali.

A significant collection of works by Salvador Dali--the best outside of Spain. Free audio guide. See paintings you've studied in school or seen in books! Nice small garden with hedge maze.
Maria HenkelJanuary 11, 2019
Nice body of work from Dali’s life. The Magritte co-exhibit was fun and the immersive aspects were very unique for a museum. The cafe is also fast and delicious!!

Absolute must do when visiting the area. Great permanent collection from one of the most prolific artists of the modern era. The free tours are pretty entertaining. save time for the garden
Marie La RueAugust 7, 2018
Amazing place. Get the audio guide and learn more about Dali’s artistic processes and vision. Adjacent garden is wonderful.
Ian HoughtonMarch 14, 2016
I really great place that also hold pretty cool events too. Thursday's are the days to go. After 5pm it's only $10 per person. Also watch out for special showings they have. Currently Dali and Disney.

Superb! Do yourself a favor and experience Dalí while you're in St. Petersburg. You're going to need a solid 3 hours to get a good feel for the his work exhibited here. Great collection!
Nicole CarterMarch 3, 2015
The audio guides are great to listen about the pieces of art. You will learn a lot. The little cafe is nice and USF students get free parking and free admission. Make sure to go into tge garden.

Absolutely loved this place. Great architecture and art. One of the must visit places in St. Pete. Do the guided tour if possible. So informative. Pricey admission but worth it.
Donna LuLuDecember 23, 2013
Take the free guided tour and then do the free self-guided tour. Learned so much you would never get on your own. The museum is beautiful and the tour guide was incredible. Worth every penny.
DanJuly 28, 2017
A really cool museum dedicated to the art of Dali that's in a place you wouldn't expect. Really lovely architecture too. Don't miss this if you're in the area.
nidhiDecember 29, 2012
Great little museum. Take a free tour (or two- different perspectives from different docents) and then wander around for a few hours. You can spend 3 hours here.
Josie RossDecember 28, 2014
Beautiful! I love the art on the inside and the creative outside! I've been here many times, and it never lets down. Food variety could be wider...but overall, fun trip for an Florida vacation!
KrystallSeptember 4, 2014
Love love love love this place. They have some of his masterworks on display that you can stare at for hours and still find something new. A must see if you are in St. Pete.
Karen DieterJuly 11, 2013
Gorgeous new building that truly suits the surrealist masterpieces...much better than the old building. A definite must-see for anyone in the Tampa Bay area.
Debra LermitteJanuary 23, 2015
Fascinating to hear about Dali and see his paintings. His works are amazingly complex. The tours are free & very worthwhile. There was an exhibit on Picasso as well today. Wonderful!!
Melissa MeierAugust 12, 2018
My favorite place to go when I visit family in the area. Don't miss out on the tour, they have so many stories behind some pieces you would never know.
Bethany CulpMarch 26, 2013
The architecture of the museum is as surreal as the work of Salvador Dali. I high recommend going on the tour to gain further insight into the mind of one of the greatest geniuses of all time.
Christopher NasonMay 20, 2016
Beautiful building! The problem is the exhibit isn't worth paying $25 to see.
Samantha WoodMarch 31, 2019
Have a surreal experience exploring the artwork and life of Salvador Dali! In addition to artwork permanently on display, exhibits rotate throughout the year. Make sure to stop by the Avant-garden!
Donna LuLuNovember 24, 2013
Take the free tour with the guide & then go back & take the free self-guided tour. Even art newbies will fall in love with his work. Can't wait to go back again.

Don't miss a chance to visit the largest private collection of Dali artwork in the world! It's absolutely free for USF students! Grab an audio guide or enjoy the docent led tours (every hour).
Guto VieiraFebruary 23, 2016
The gardens are great! But The exhibition Is awesome! I suggest The tour: it's free And very good!!!
Sasha AhlesNovember 11, 2016
Easily my favorite art museum that I've had the pleasure of visiting. Although to be fair, Dalí is one of my favorite artists, so I am a little biased.
Hotel IndigoAugust 13, 2013
While the remarkable Salvador Dali Museum hosts one of the largest collections by the subversive Spanish master, from oil paintings and watercolors to photographs and objects d’art.
Samra Bufkins, MJ, APRAugust 8, 2015
This is a "must see" anytime you are in the area. The new building is a work of art in itself. The gift shop is fabulous.
DoniaMarch 21, 2016
Breath taking work from Dalí & cool building. Smaller than expected. Audio tour comes with ticket if wanted.
Connie ChiuDecember 5, 2015
Such an amazing museum with great Dali exhibit and Escher. Architecture is stunning.
Michael NOVA NovillaApril 14, 2013
The Dali Museum is a MUST SEE while here in St. Pete! They created a world-class building worthy of Dali's incredible masterpieces! Oh and thank Amy for all of her hard work getting it built!
JulieSeptember 8, 2012
Ask for the headphones so you can hear about the paintings in detail! It's great! Also, love the GIANT mustache outside!
Jane SchildrothApril 6, 2014
Be sure to join a docent-led tour. We learned so much and then did the audio tour, too. I liked it all much more than I had expected!
Kitty IbarraJune 21, 2011
Problem is the one in Spain curated by Dali himself is just breath taking.only pieces worth seeing are 80 photo etchings from goyas prints w/ drypoint & colored w/ pochpior on bfk.also a few masters
Rick BendixJanuary 25, 2020
This is a terrific small museum whose collection covers the entire span of Dali’s artistic career. The cafe and gift ship are outstanding.
JoannaSeptember 25, 2016
Amazing collection of Dali works. Download the free app for a free audio tour. Beautiful building.
Rhea TriggersAugust 17, 2013
At gala contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at twenty meters becomes the portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Turn around and use your sunglasses to reflect the painting and you'll see the amazingness.
CindyApril 7, 2014
Just go!! What an experience. Take the tour with the guide and then walk thru again at your own pace. We stayed 4 hours and had a delicious lunch too.
Gigi YuMarch 29, 2023
One of the largest Dali collections in the world. Be sure to join one of the free tours!
Jim CarlsonJanuary 12, 2015
The cafe has gourmet selections and the patio has a beautiful view to go with the meal- in good weather.
Katrina JuneSeptember 2, 2013
Was absolutely amazing & I would recommend this to anyone who has an appreciation for art in its truest form... Deff worth the drive!
Gabriel HayesAugust 11, 2015
Awesome art museum. One of the best museums I have been to that is dedicated to one artist.
Carmine LaPietraJuly 7, 2013
Great- they even have things to keep the kids entertained. Enjoyed the collection, the gardens, the gift shop, and the Cafe.
Vickie HickmanAugust 23, 2013
Beautiful new building since I was there last. Audio tour was great. Amazing pieces in there. Nice gift store.

This museum houses the world's most comprehensive collection of the renowned Spanish artist's work, with a permanent collection of 96 oil paintings spanning the years from 1917 to 1970.
Lance HaysJanuary 2, 2014
Went on a day where tickets were cheaper. Go early if that's the case. It was packed by the afternoon. I really enjoyed it.
Kameron DuncanAugust 14, 2013
Been here 5+ times
Great place to tour . I would go with the tour group . Explains more about the paintings
Lori MasucciFebruary 15, 2015
The new building is amazing, and it provides a much better space to view the very large works.
