About Dali Museum

Dalí Paris, formerly known as Espace Dalí, is a museum in Paris's Montmartre district devoted to the work of the Surrealist master Salvador Dalí. Located near the Place du Tertre, the exhibition opened in 1991 and houses around three hundred original works. The focus is mainly on three-dimensional sculptures and prints that translate the artist's iconic paintings into spatial forms. Among the works on display are famous pieces such as the Space Elephant and motifs from Alice in Wonderland, complemented by thematic cycles on Moses, monotheism, and Don Quixote.

The collection is part of the Dalí Universe collection, curated by the Italian gallery owner and collector Beniamino Levi. You experience the artworks in an atmosphere accompanied by background music. Creative workshops are available for younger visitors to introduce them to Dalí's work in a playful way. Alongside the main museum, there are two adjoining galleries. The Galerie Dalí shows a selection of the artist's sculptures, engravings, and lithographs, while the Galerie Montmartre presents works by various contemporary artists. The museum is open daily and also hosts regularly changing special exhibitions.

  1. Travel tip from Wikivoyagewritten by travelers

    A fantastic and undeservedly little-known collection of the great surrealist artist's often overlooked sculptural works. Those travellers seeking a more authentic experience should be warned that the majority of works here are reproductions, and that this "museum" is more appropriately considered as a for-profit, tourist-oriented homage to the artist rather than a carefully curated collection of original work. To find it, head up to Sacré Cœur and stand facing it and take a left. Keep your eye out for small Dali signs.
