The Dalí Universe in Venice in a fantastic exhibition entirely dedicated to Salvador Dalí, with more than 100 Dalí artworks on display. Visitors can admire a collection of artworks lesser known to the public, which include bronze sculpture, rare graphics portfolios, glass pate de verre sculptures and gold objets d'art. This is the only collection of its kind in the world, featuring the most important and largest grouping of Dalí sculptures.

The Museo Santa Apollonia in Venice opens its doors to a unique show, curated by Mr Beniamino Levi, president of the Fondazione Ambrosiana per l'Arte e la Cultura. Mr Levi has thus far organised over 80 exhibitions of Dalí artworks that have been seen by over 10 million people in numerous countries worldwide.

Bronze sculptures on display include, Homage to Newton, Woman Aflame, Space Elephant and Toreador Hallucinogen. Each sculpture offers the visitor the chance to discover a new and unique aspect of Dalí's surrealism, from the iconographic soft watch of the Persistence of Memory to his homage to the female figure in Space Venus.

The collection of pate de verre sculptures arises from an artistic collaboration between Dalí and the french glass-making company Daum Cristallerie during the 1960s. For Dalí, glass offered the perfect medium for artistic expression.

The exhibition has on display an important collection of rare, hand-signed graphics illustrating the great themes of literature both contemporary and classic.

The exhibition is supported by the Città di Venezia and the Provincia di Venezia.

The exhibition is managed by Fondazione Ambrosiana per l'Arte e la Cultura, VAT 10784120155.
