From the surreal to the very surreal. That was the experience on my recent travels to Florida that started at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg and ended at Disney World in Orlando. I think Dali and Walt had similar minds. The Dali Museum is impressive, permanently housing many of the painter’s masterworks. The museum […]
