Dalí - The exhibition at Potsdamer Platz is a museum with a permanent exhibition in Berlin . Works by the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí will be shown . The museum opened on February 5, 2009.

Emergence

Dalí - The exhibition was opened for the first time in 2001 in cooperation with the state of Baden-Württemberg in Schwetzingen Castle under the patronage of the then finance minister of the state and the Spanish consul general. It then went on tour in Germany and was shown in 2002 in cooperation with Difa (now Union Investment) in the Chilehaus Hamburg. In 2006 Dalí - The Exhibition was shown for the first time in Berlin. At that time it was a temporary exhibition in the Dom Aquarée in Berlin-Mitte. From 2007 to 2008 it was then staged in the western part of the city on Kurfürstendamm in the former Filmbühne Wien on approx. 4,000 m². The good response from the visitors and the growing demand meant that the representative of the lender and initiator Carsten Kollmeier was looking for a permanent location in the cultural metropolis of Berlin for a permanent museum exhibition and found it in rooms at Leipziger Platz . Since 2009 it has been an art museum recognized by ICOM , the German Museum Association and the Berlin Senate.

Works

The exhibits in the exhibition come from private collections from around the world. In total, the curator and initiator Carsten Kollmeier has 3000 works available. From this pool over 450 pieces are shown in the exhibition rooms, which change at regular intervals. These are exclusively originals, the spectrum ranges from graphics such as woodcuts , drypoint etchings and lithographs to illustrated books, sculptures, three-dimensional installations, working documents and film sequences. Dalí's first lithographic work Don Quixote de la Mancha is on display, as are the woodcuts to Dante's Divine Comedy and the sculpture of the Surrealist Angels .
