Dali Exhibit at LACMA

If you are in L.A., you might have heard about the new Dali: Painting and Film exhibit going on at LACMA until January 6.

Word of advice: Go on a weekday. Or wait a few more weeks. And go early in the morning. I went last weekend and it was jam packed with people. Not only was there a line trying to buy tickets, there was a line to get into the exhibit, and once inside the exhibit, you have to be in line just to move along the wall!

Tickets are $20 a person. The exhibit features a lot of his earlier works (pre-1950s), including perhaps the only really famous painting they had was the Persistence of Memory:

Much smaller than I expected! But nice to finally see the real thing after years of seeing imitations made for dorm walls.

Probably the best thing about the exhibit is all the films (or excerpts) showing. Including Destino, a 7-minute film 58 years in the making!
