Dalì Exhibition in Milan

From 22nd September 2010 to January 2011, Milan will host Salvador Dalì’s genius in an exhibition  taking place at Palazzo Reale.
After  50 years ,  Dalì’s works are back in Milan in the exhibition “ Il sogno si avvicina”  (“Dream is near”)  focusing on  the strong relationship between the Spanish artist and the landscape; behind the surreal figures he painted, you can notice the beautiful landscapes typical of Catalonia,  just north of Barcelona, where he was born. 

56 works will be exhibited on this occasion and  will prove the creativity of the Catalan artist, one of  the best representatives of  Surrealism, but, surprisingly,  there will also be works showing the experimentation by Dalì in other fields: fashion, design and cinema. In this field, particularly, you can admire Destino,  the short animated cartoon made  in cooperation with Walt Disney and never shown before.
This short cartoon was  made  when Dalì worked  for Disney, in 1945, and tells about a journey  in which  the painter accompanies a girl who’s looking for her beloved through  surreal landscapes.
The project  was brought back to life only  in 2003, when it  was produced by Disney’s nephew, and will now be included in the  Blu-Ray DVD  "Fantasia 2000", coming in November.

The Hotel Milano Scala, only 10 minutes on foot from  Palazzo Reale, has  special offers   for a very special stay in Milan. 
 
Location: Palazzo Reale - Piazza Duomo 12, Milan - Milano
