Overview

The Salvador Dalí exhibition is housed within the d’Arenberg Cube, a five-story architectural structure inspired by the complex geometry of a Rubik’s Cube situated in the McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia. Curated by ArtEvolution, the collection features a significant array of Dalí’s bronze sculptures, surrealist furniture, and graphic works. The exhibition occupies the top floor of the building, which is designed to rotate visually and conceptually within the surrounding vineyards. Visitors access the exhibit after navigating the 'Alternate Realities Museum' on the lower levels of the cube. The installation serves as a permanent, privately owned showcase of the artist’s oeuvre in the Southern Hemisphere. The building itself is integrated into the d'Arenberg winery estate, blending fine art with premium viticulture.
