00:33.535 --> 00:36.099
THE SALVADOR DALI IS PROBABLY

00:36.101 --> 00:37.499
THE MOST FAMOUS OF THE 20th

00:37.501 --> 00:40.199
CENTURY ARTISTS.

00:40.201 --> 00:41.933
HE WAS SPANISH, AND HE WAS A

00:41.935 --> 00:44.232
SURREALIST.

00:44.234 --> 00:45.999
SPANISH, THOUGH, HE SPENT HALF

00:46.001 --> 00:47.732
OF HIS TIME IN THE UNITED STATES

00:47.734 --> 00:49.399
AND WAS HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY

00:49.401 --> 00:52.166
AMERICAN CULTURE.

00:52.168 --> 00:53.832
HE ALSO INFLUENCED OUR CULTURE,

00:53.834 --> 00:55.699
INFLUENCED AMERICAN POPULAR

00:55.701 --> 00:58.166
CULTURE AND ITS HIGH ART.

00:58.168 --> 01:01.966
THE SURREALISTS WERE THOSE

01:01.968 --> 01:03.199
ARTISTS THAT ESSENTIALLY USED

01:03.201 --> 01:04.099
WHAT WE WOULD UNDERSTAND AS

01:04.101 --> 01:05.799
COLLAGE.

01:05.801 --> 01:06.899
THEIR AESTHETIC WAS A COLLAGED

01:06.901 --> 01:08.999
AESTHETIC.

01:09.001 --> 01:10.899
THAT IS, YOU TAKE SOMETHING FROM

01:10.901 --> 01:12.899
ONE PLACE AND SOMETHING FROM

01:12.901 --> 01:14.766
ANOTHER PLACE THAT WERE NOT

01:14.768 --> 01:16.365
TOGETHER AND YOU PUT THEM

01:16.367 --> 01:17.532
TOGETHER AND YOU CREATE

01:17.534 --> 01:19.265
SOMETHING NEW.

01:19.267 --> 01:19.866
BUT DALI DID THAT IN A DIFFERENT

01:19.868 --> 01:22.100
WAY.

01:22.102 --> 01:24.699
HE COLLAGED HIS DREAMS, AND HE

01:24.701 --> 01:26.599
WOULD TAKE IMAGES FROM HIS

01:26.601 --> 01:30.298
DREAMS AND PUT THEM ON CANVASES.

01:30.300 --> 01:31.633
AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE CALLED

01:31.635 --> 01:34.298
HIS PAINTINGS DREAM PHOTOGRAPHS.

01:34.300 --> 01:36.633
THE IDEA OF SURREALISM IS THAT

01:36.635 --> 01:41.198
THE WORLD IS NOT REAL, THAT IT'S

01:41.200 --> 01:43.000
AN ILLUSION, AND THAT SOMETHING

01:43.002 --> 01:45.100
ELSE, WHAT GOES ON IN OUR MINDS

01:45.102 --> 01:47.766
AND IN OUR HEARTS IS MORE REAL,

01:47.768 --> 01:48.833
AND THEY TRY TO GET TO THIS

01:48.835 --> 01:50.365
GREATER REALITY.

01:51.600 --> 01:57.100
♪

01:57.102 --> 01:59.398
THE DALI MUSEUM IS VISITED BY

01:59.400 --> 02:01.066
PEOPLE FROM MORE THAN 30

02:01.068 --> 02:01.733
COUNTRIES EVERY YEAR AROUND THE

AS MANY AS 400,000 VISITORS TO

02:05.200 --> 02:06.866
THE DALI EACH YEAR, AND THAT HAS

02:06.868 --> 02:08.866
BEEN GROWING PRETTY STEADILY

02:08.868 --> 02:10.933
THROUGHOUT THE LAST FEW YEARS.

02:10.935 --> 02:12.666
AND SINCE BUILDING THIS NEW

02:12.668 --> 02:14.166
MAGNIFICENT BUILDING, WE'RE ABLE

02:14.168 --> 02:15.166
TO ACCOMMODATE MORE VISITORS,

02:15.168 --> 02:15.965
WHICH HAS BEEN GREAT.

02:19.333 --> 02:22.032
WE ARE SITTING IN A BUILDING

02:22.034 --> 02:24.299
THAT AOL ONLINE CALLED ONE OF

02:24.301 --> 02:25.365
THE 10 BUILDINGS YOU MUST SEE IN

02:25.367 --> 02:27.999
YOUR LIFETIME.

02:28.001 --> 02:29.732
AND IT'S BEAUTIFULLY REALIZED BY

02:29.734 --> 02:32.332
HOK ARCHITECTS AND THE DESIGNER

02:32.334 --> 02:34.399
YANN WEYMOUTH TO COMPLEMENT

02:34.401 --> 02:36.599
DALI'S VISION.

02:36.601 --> 02:38.566
IT'S A KIND OF COMBINATION OF

02:38.568 --> 02:40.699
CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE,

02:40.701 --> 02:42.699
VERY CORRECT, WITH

02:42.701 --> 02:44.799
FANTASTICAL ELEMENTS.

02:44.801 --> 02:46.965
FOR INSTANCE, ABOVE US RIGHT NOW

02:46.967 --> 02:48.732
IS A GEODESIC DOME THAT HAS BEEN

02:48.734 --> 02:51.299
WARPED BY A COMPUTER SO THAT

02:51.301 --> 02:54.365
EVERY PANEL OF GLASS IS A

02:54.367 --> 02:54.965
DIFFERENT SIZE AND A DIFFERENT

02:54.967 --> 02:57.332
SHAPE.

02:57.334 --> 02:59.432
1,064 PANES OF GLASS, NO TWO THE

02:59.434 --> 03:02.332
SAME SIZE OR SHAPE.

03:02.334 --> 03:03.832
SO IT'S LIKE LOOKING OUT THROUGH

03:03.834 --> 03:05.632
A KALEIDOSCOPE SEEING THE WORLD

03:05.634 --> 03:08.599
FRAMED IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

03:08.601 --> 03:10.132
WHEN THEY COME, WE TRY TO ORIENT

03:10.134 --> 03:15.366
THEM A LITTLE BIT TO DALI.

03:15.368 --> 03:17.399
THE COLLECTION OF THE DALI

03:17.401 --> 03:19.366
MUSEUM IS BASED IN A PRIVATE

03:19.368 --> 03:21.965
COLLECTION, ORGANIZED AND

03:21.967 --> 03:24.399
GATHERED OVER FOUR DECADES BY A

03:24.401 --> 03:25.399
COUPLE, REYNOLDS AND ELEANOR

03:25.401 --> 03:27.399
MORSE.

03:27.401 --> 03:29.065
THE BACKSTORY IS, OF COURSE,

03:29.067 --> 03:30.965
THAT THE MORSES, WHO WERE

03:30.967 --> 03:32.733
FRIENDS OF DALI AND A HUGE

03:32.735 --> 03:34.232
COLLECTOR OF HIS, WERE LOOKING

03:34.234 --> 03:36.098
FOR A SPACE TO SHOW OFF THEIR

03:36.100 --> 03:38.266
COLLECTION AND CREATE A MUSEUM.

03:38.268 --> 03:40.432
AND ST. PETERSBURG WAS A

03:40.434 --> 03:42.399
CONTENDER AND LUCKY ENOUGH TO

03:42.401 --> 03:44.432
MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS TO CREATE

03:44.434 --> 03:45.466
AND OPEN A MUSEUM HERE IN THE

03:45.468 --> 03:47.765
EARLY '80s.

03:47.767 --> 03:50.065
THE MORSES FELT THAT THIS

03:50.067 --> 03:52.299
CITY OF ST. PETERSBURG WAS A

03:52.301 --> 03:54.432
LITTLE BIT LIKE PORT LLIGAT

03:54.434 --> 03:55.432
WHERE DALI LIVED RIGHT ON THE

03:55.434 --> 03:57.633
SEA.

03:57.635 --> 03:59.998
WE HAVE A HUNDRED PAINTINGS,

04:00.000 --> 04:02.699
2,000 ADDITIONAL WORKS OF DALI,

04:02.701 --> 04:04.931
REALLY THE MOST REPRESENTATIVE

04:04.933 --> 04:06.031
COLLECTION OF DALI'S WORK IN THE

04:06.033 --> 04:07.931
WORLD.

04:07.933 --> 04:09.399
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT ON AN

04:09.401 --> 04:11.365
EXHIBITION OF DALI IN THE WORLD

04:11.367 --> 04:13.065
WITHOUT BORROWING FROM OUR

04:13.067 --> 04:14.065
COLLECTION BECAUSE IT'S SO

04:14.067 --> 04:15.932
IMPORTANT.

04:15.934 --> 04:17.632
WE WORK TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT

04:17.634 --> 04:19.832
EXHIBITIONS OF DALI.

04:19.834 --> 04:22.199
SO EVERY TIME YOU COME, YOU'LL

04:22.201 --> 04:24.199
SEE DIFFERENT WORKS OF DALI,

04:24.201 --> 04:26.165
ALSO THE WORK ORGANIZED IN A

04:26.167 --> 04:27.465
DIFFERENT WAY SHOWING DIFFERENT

04:27.467 --> 04:29.799
THEMES OF DALI.

04:29.801 --> 04:31.865
NOW, OUR CURATORS ALSO

04:31.867 --> 04:33.498
COMPLEMENT THAT WITH OTHER

04:33.500 --> 04:35.199
ARTISTS, ARTISTS THAT PERHAPS

04:35.201 --> 04:37.998
KNEW DALI, ARTISTS THAT DALI

04:38.000 --> 04:40.465
ADMIRED, AND THAT TERRAIN IS

04:40.467 --> 04:42.065
VERY RICH AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO

04:42.067 --> 04:43.465
HAVE WONDERFUL SHOWS.

04:43.467 --> 04:45.265
WE'VE WELCOMED ANDY WARHOL.

04:45.267 --> 04:46.732
WE'VE HAD PABLO PICASSO.

04:46.734 --> 04:48.465
WE HAD M.C. ESCHER.

04:48.467 --> 04:50.165
CURRENTLY, WE ARE EXHIBITING

04:50.167 --> 04:51.432
AN EXHIBITION OF DISNEY AND

04:51.434 --> 04:53.132
DALI.

04:53.134 --> 04:54.498
THIS "DISNEY AND DALI:

04:54.500 --> 04:56.465
ARCHITECTS OF THE IMAGINATION"

04:56.467 --> 04:58.498
EXHIBITION IS REALLY ABOUT THEIR

04:58.500 --> 05:00.098
KIND OF UNLIKELY COLLABORATION

05:00.100 --> 05:01.965
AND BOTH BEING REALLY PIONEERS

05:01.967 --> 05:03.732
AND VISIONARIES IN THE WORLD OF

05:03.734 --> 05:07.498
IMAGINATION AND INNOVATION.

05:07.500 --> 05:08.832
I THINK DALI IS KNOWN FOR TWO

05:08.834 --> 05:11.199
THINGS PRIMARILY.

05:11.201 --> 05:13.532
ONE IS THE MUSTACHE ON HIS

05:13.534 --> 05:15.199
PERSON, AND THE OTHER IS HIS

05:15.201 --> 05:17.165
PAINTING OF MELTING CLOCKS.

05:17.167 --> 05:18.866
AND WE HAVE ONE OF HIS MOST

05:18.868 --> 05:20.332
IMPORTANT MELTING CLOCK

05:20.334 --> 05:21.499
PAINTINGS, WHICH IS CALLED

05:21.501 --> 05:22.799
"THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE

05:22.801 --> 05:25.199
PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY."

05:25.201 --> 05:27.999
IN IT THE CLOCKS ARE MELTING,

05:28.001 --> 05:30.532
BUT ADDITIONALLY, THE SEAFLOOR

05:30.534 --> 05:32.899
IS COMING UP AND EVERYTHING IS

05:32.901 --> 05:34.499
DIVIDED INTO ATOMS AND THE WORLD

05:34.501 --> 05:36.532
IS SEPARATED IN ITS PARTS.

05:36.534 --> 05:38.832
DALI'S WIFE SAID, "ONCE PEOPLE

05:38.834 --> 05:40.932
SEE THOSE MELTING CLOCKS,

05:40.934 --> 05:42.965
THEY WILL NEVER FORGET THEM."

05:42.967 --> 05:45.366
AND I THINK IT'S TRUE.

05:45.368 --> 05:47.132
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAINTINGS AND

05:47.134 --> 05:48.999
ONE THAT PEOPLE COME FROM ALL

05:49.001 --> 05:50.032
AROUND THE WORLD TO SEE HAS A

05:50.034 --> 05:52.165
LONG TITLE.

05:52.167 --> 05:54.565
IT'S CALLED GALA -- HIS WIFE

05:54.567 --> 05:56.366
GALA, "GALA CONTEMPLATING THE

05:56.368 --> 05:58.199
MEDITERRANEAN SEA WHICH AT

05:58.201 --> 05:59.565
TWENTY METERS BECOMES THE

05:59.567 --> 06:02.132
PORTRAIT OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN."

06:02.134 --> 06:04.532
ON THE ONE HAND, WHEN YOU FIRST

06:04.534 --> 06:06.032
LOOK AT THE PAINTING, YOU SEE

06:06.034 --> 06:08.032
HIS WIFE LOOKING OUT INTO THE

06:08.034 --> 06:10.499
MEDITERRANEAN SEA.

06:10.501 --> 06:12.599
BUT WHEN YOU GET BACK FAR

06:12.601 --> 06:14.131
ENOUGH, AND HE SAID 20 METERS IN

06:14.133 --> 06:17.499
THE TITLE, YOU SEE GALA

06:17.501 --> 06:19.532
DISAPPEARS AND YOU SEE THAT THE

06:19.534 --> 06:22.332
ENTIRE PAINTING IS THE BUST OF

06:22.334 --> 06:24.632
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

06:24.634 --> 06:27.165
WE ALSO HAVE ONE IN WHICH DALI

06:27.167 --> 06:30.499
HAS INSCRIBED HIS NAME AND HIS

06:30.501 --> 06:34.065
WIFE'S NAME INTO DNA.

06:34.067 --> 06:36.098
AND SO THE PAINTING IS CALLED

06:36.100 --> 06:37.599
"GALACIDALACIDESOXYRIBONUCLEIC-

06:37.601 --> 06:40.466
ACID."

06:40.468 --> 06:42.365
SO IT'S A PAINTING THAT HAS

06:42.367 --> 06:44.098
SCIENCE IN IT, LIFE AND DEATH,

06:44.100 --> 06:46.165
HEAVEN AND EARTH.

06:46.167 --> 06:48.599
IT'S A COMPLETE STORY OF OUR

06:48.601 --> 06:50.933
CONDITION AS PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE

06:50.935 --> 06:53.599
COME TO THE DALI REMEMBERING

06:53.601 --> 06:56.532
THESE WONDERFUL IMAGES OF DALI,

06:56.534 --> 06:58.566
HIS WONDERFUL IMAGINATION, THE

06:58.568 --> 07:00.599
WAY HE TREATS THE WORLD AS

07:00.601 --> 07:02.466
MALLEABLE AND SUBJECTIVE AND

07:02.468 --> 07:04.732
OPEN TO INTERPRETATION.

07:04.734 --> 07:06.065
THE DALI IS ABSOLUTELY A

07:06.067 --> 07:07.332
STAPLE OF THE ARTS COMMUNITY IN

07:07.334 --> 07:09.131
ST. PETERSBURG.

07:09.133 --> 07:10.499
AND WHEN YOU SEE PICTURES OF

07:10.501 --> 07:11.900
ST. PETERSBURG, THEY SHOW THE

07:11.902 --> 07:13.298
BEACHES AND THEY SHOW THE DALI.

07:13.300 --> 07:15.666
AND WE'RE THRILLED AND HONORED

07:15.668 --> 07:17.232
AND LUCKY TO HAVE THE DALI HERE

07:17.234 --> 07:18.365
IN THE COMMUNITY.

07:23.500 --> 07:24.165
FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE

07:24.167 --> 07:24.933
MUSEUM, VISIT:
