Dalí Universe
The Dalí Universe is a permanent exhibition in County Hall housing Europe's largest collection of works by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.
Arranged thematically, the collection covers the major influences of Dalí's life and work. It features over five hundred works of art, showcasing sculpture, graphics, jewellery, gold and glass objects, etchings and watercolours, many of which have never been exhibited before in the UK.
Key exhibits include the famous Mae West Lips Sofa, the oil painting created for Hitchcock's movie Spellbound and the collection of 124 drawings which Dalí produced to accompany his 1942 autobiography "La Vie Secrčte".
In addition, the Dalí Universe operates a Fine Art Gallery where works by Dalí, Picasso and Chagall are available for sale.
Open daily from 10am until 5.30pm.
