Salvador Dali Exhibition, Bruges

I consider myself lucky that in my Brugge visit, Salvador Dali expo was present. I didn't know what to expect, but it was a very well-put and organized exhibition, with some of the painter's masterpieces. The audio guide, as well as the explanatory texts, next to the pieces, helped understanding better the nuance of them. I left this expo mesmerized by the artist's unique style and all that I felt while admiring his art...

As Dali is one of my biggest inspirations and one of my favourite artists, I felt that the beauty of his art pieces wasn’t shown the way it should have. The collection was nice, and I liked how the paintings and statues were sorted in categories. You could find the Dante inspired paintings together the same way you could find a collection of la Fontaine inspired paintings and drawings. But the way the gallery was set, was a little bit like somebody was in a hurry. There were two little raised spaces, but like another reviewer stated, they felt a bit left out (like many other pieces of his collection). The creaking of the wooden floors made it that you couldn’t always hear the audio that were made available for the visitors. (There were signs to keep it quiet) The paintings for sale are at the entrance, but they’re all put together like some little souvenirs. The lady who sold the tickets was very sweet, the collection was nice but the setting of the entire gallery was disappointing. I would still recommend it to somebody who loves Dali’s work. I just hope that maybe in the future they give him a proper gallery.
