The new Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg Florida was inaugurated on 11 January 2011 at eleven minutes past eleven in the morning.
Princess Cristina de Borbón took part in the inaugural ceremony for the new museum, as did the Managing Director of the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Joan Manuel Sevillano, the Foundation’s General Secretary Lluís Peñuelas and various representatives of Cadaqués and Figueres town councils.
In a modern style, with architecture reminiscent of the geodesic dome of the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the building is the new headquarters of a private institution founded in 1982 in order to preserve the artistic legacy collected down through the years by Albert Reynolds Morse and his wife Eleanor, who were friends of Dalí and Gala for 45 years.
