Salvador Dalì, the exhibition

Also this year, after Giotto and Van Gogh last year, the Vittoriano in Rome has decided to call the attention of art lovers. The exhibition “Salvador Dali: the man, the artist” opened on March 10 and ends on June 30.

The title given to the exhibition clearly refers to the ethos of the painter, where the two sides were together, impossible to divide. His life was art, he was art. Although knowing very little about his life, it is difficult to understand how much Dali felt to be different from others.

Hours: open every day. Monday to Thursday: 9.30-18.30 Friday and Saturday 9.30-22.30. Sunday 9.30-19.30
Tickets: Adult € 12.00   Reduced  € 8.50
