Arts & Culture

The building is built in Dali style on the waterfront area of Downtown St. Pete. The art of Dali is a surreal experience. They currently have a Dali & Disney exhibit that showcases their parallel lives and ends with a 3-D virtual adventure into a Dali painting. No better way to experience art.
