A Visit to the Salvador Dali Museum

Each of these triangular glass pieces is a different size.  During the construction of the building each glass piece was marked with a identifying number.   From this point on the third floor we could see the city marina.  

Outside we found the Labyrinth, the Wish tree, the Golden Rectangle.    The Golden Rectangle is a has been known as one having a pleasing shape, whose side lengths adhere to the Golden Ratio.  The Golden Rectangle  is frequently found in art and architecture.  There is much more math required to explain the ratio and its relationship to the nautilus pictured above but rest assured there is some link.   The simple version is that the Golden Rectangle fits perfectly inside the nautilus.

Entrance to the labyrinth

 This dolphin sculpture outside the museum captures much of Dali’s life and artwork.  I found his image as a small child on the dolphin.  He placed this childhood image on many of his works.

Perfect place for a rest after visiting the museum.
