Thanks to my work with MousePlanet.com, from time to time I’ve been hosted at media days at Legoland Florida, the former home of Cypress Gardens. This visit was December 1, 2019.
The Dalí Museum celebrates the life and art of the influential and innovative artist, Salvador Dalí. The Dalí Museum opened in St. Petersburg in 1982. The current museum building opened on January 11, 2011, designed by architect Yann Weymouth of HOK. The museum says its design is “a simple rectangle with 18-inch thick hurricane-proof walls out of which erupts a large free-form geodesic glass bubble known as the ‘enigma.’ The Enigma, which is made up of 1,062 triangular pieces of glass, stands 75 feet at its tallest point, a twenty-first century homage to the dome that adorns Dalí’s museum in Spain. Inside, the Museum houses another unique architectural feature – a helical staircase – recalling Dalí’s obsession with spirals and the double helical shape of the DNA molecule. September 21, 2023
