Salvador Dali Museum in Tampa, FL

11/27/2014

 

The New Salvador Dali Museum in Florida

PictureHere I am standing in front of Salvador Dali's painting, "Persistence of Memory" at the MOMA in New York City.
     Hello Tigers! Happy Thanksgiving. I wanted you to see this spectacular building; it is the new Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Architect Yann Weymouth of HOK designed it; the building combines the rational with the fantastical. 
     It is a simple rectangle that appears to erupt a large free-form geodesic glass bubble known as the "enigma".  I have to organize a field trip for my AP class to see this! Inside there is a helical staircase that spirals up to nowhere– recalling Dali’s obsession with spirals and the double helical shape of the DNA molecule. This place is amazing.
    



     When I lived in NYC I went to the MOMA to see Dali's painting, "Persistence of Memory". I included of photo of me standing in front of the painting. I want you guys to see that "I live what I teach". My love for art extends beyond the classroom. 
   Tomorrow I am off to the Chihuly Museum. I am bringing home so much to share with all of you. I hope that you are enjoying your time with your families. Happy Thanksgiving, I miss all of you. Ms. B.
