The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, has introduced Dreams of Dali, an immersive experience that allows visitors to use virtual reality stations to explore the eccentric artist’s imagination by going inside his 1935 painting Archeological Reminiscence of Millet’s “Angelus”.

The museum is also featuring an exhibit entitled Disney and Dali: Architects of the Imagination.  The multimedia exhibition tells the story of the unlikely alliance between Dali and the American animator Walt Disney.
