Get Surreal


It's Salvadore Dali's birthday. Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquis of Púbol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989) was a Spanish Catalan surrealist painter born in Figueres, Spain.

The "new" Dali museum in St. Petersburg, Florida is still under construction. I visited the "old" one twice. That's where I got my bumper sticker that says "Get Surreal" which is still proudly displayed on the back of my otherwise nondescript Ford Escort wagon. But the museum was closed a few years ago because of it's location right on the water and fears of a hurricane and/or flooding damaging the collection of Dali's art.
