Day 7 / Salvador Dalí Museum and Montmartre district

Today, I went to visit the famous Montmartre district of Paris, famous for street artists and the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur, which is located on the crest of the hill.

Artists set up on the streets of Montmartre district.

As a fan of Salvador Dalí, I was excited to visit the The Espace Dalí, which is a permanent exhibition in France devoted to him and more particularly to his sculptures and engravings. The museum has around 300 original artworks.

Dalí is known for his long-legged animal pictures. My students will love these!

Dalís ink blot-style paintings were quite interesting.

My students love Dalí 's melting clocks! Here is a sculpture of one.

There was also some interesting reflective pieces. Here is a short video of this one.

 I learned so much about Dalí  that I never knew before. His ink blot paintings were new to me, and I really enjoyed the sculptures. The museum was too dark for me to capture one in a 3D scan, but I was able to get a lot of great photos of them.
