Surrealism with Dali

Among the things I like about Singapore are her museums. The past year, the Clairvoyant and I have had the opportunity to view and experience masterpieces and other art works that one can only have access to in museums in Europe, the US or Japan. Among our favorites was the exhibition of the works of Salvador Dali, who is well known for surrealism. Following is a first installment of some photos we took during an exhibit last August 2011. Yes, the works can be photographed and you can even take photos of yourself or your group with many of the pieces on exhibit. Just make sure you do not inconvenience others who are also viewing the works. Also, flash photography is strongly discouraged if not prohibited.

The following photos are focused more on the sculptures, furniture and some framed photographs of Dali. For the unitiated, you might be familiar with his signature moustache and his well known use of clocks and symbols often associated with sexuality. I will not pretend to be a good photographer and most of the pictures below are taken with a Blackberry phone.
