Take a journey into the Dalí Universe…

London’s most surreal experience lies in a labyrinth of atmospheric corridors and dreamlike effects in the heart of the thriving South Bank. Nestled between the Aquarium and the BA London Eye with a waterfront Thames vista across to the Palace of Westminster, Dalí Universe enjoys a unique
location for a dramatically unique collection.

Over 500 incredible pieces by genius and eccentric Salvador Dalí are on
permanent exhibit within the 30,000 square foot space of County Hall Gallery, which is home to the Dalí Universe exhibition. Most works on display have never before been seen in the United Kingdom and the collection has received an overwhelmingly positive response both from critics and the public alike.

The path through the Dalí Universe takes you through three themed areas –
Dreams and Fantasy, Sensuality and Femininity and Religion and Mythology –
and the exhibition demonstrates Dalí's incredible creative versatility with extensive collections ranging from surreal furniture to rare graphics, etchings, jewellery and glass objects. It reflects the richly larger-than-life personality of the artist and touches upon some of his great moments. The highlight is most certainly the extraordinary collection of surreal bronze sculpture. Boasting the largest exhibit of Dalí sculpture in the world, the Dalí Universe features classic and quirky pieces including "Space Elephant", "Persistence of Memory", "Space Venus" and "Woman Aflame".

In addition to the phenomenal exhibition of Dalí’s surreal art, County Hall Gallery is also home to a fine art gallery where is it possible to purchase original and exclusive work by Dalí, Picasso and Chagall.
