Advantages: Wide range of artwork, really interesting

Disadvantages: Highly priced

I visited the 'Dali Universe' exhibition in mid July 2009. It is a permanent exhibit held within the County Hall Gallery, London.

The entrance fees are as follows:
Adults £14
Concessions £12
Children £9 (15 - 18)
Children £8 (7 - 14)
Family Ticket £38 (2 adults 2 children)

These prices might seem a little expensive especially compared to the free galleries in London, but as a Dali fan it was worth paying. Although we didn't pay the whole amount, as there were people outside the gallery handing out tickets for £4 off and they gave us two so we only paid £10 each. I still would have paid £14 though!

The entrance to the gallery is a black corridor with pictures of Dali and some quotes which was quite interesting. There is then a timeline of his life which is very extensive and I only skim read it!

There are a lot of his works on display including paintings, sketches, statues, figurines, glasswork as well as about 5 dresses. There is work spanning the whole of his career and information about each piece.

There is a Dali shop at the end of the gallery which had some things in it but it was quite small.

I have also been to Espace Dali in Paris which was excellent, but I prefer the Dali Universe in London as they had a wider variety of works.

I would highly reccommend this gallery, especially for fans of Salvador Dali.

Summary: Great gallery, better for Dali fans due to the price.
