Protecting Dali's art

From the August 2011 issue of Structural Engineer

"Salvador Dali is considered by many to be the most prominent ambassador of the surrealism movement of the 20th century. And most are surprised to hear that the largest collection of his art – outside of his hometown of Figueres, Spain – is not in Europe, New York, or Washington D.C., but in St. Petersburg, Fla. This collection of Dali's art – the largest private collection in the world accumulated over 40 years by A. Reynolds and Eleanor Morse – was donated to a small St. Petersburg museum in 1980, which opened as the original Salvador Dali Museum in 1982."
