The d’Arenberg Cube is designed to resemble an unfinished Rubik's Cube, featuring five levels that represent the different stages of winemaking.
The exhibit includes iconic Dalí motifs such as melting clocks and long-legged elephants cast in bronze.
The structure was designed by Chester Osborn, the fourth-generation winemaker of the d’Arenberg estate.
ArtEvolution’s collection represents one of the largest private holdings of Salvador Dalí’s works on public display in Australia.
The building is constructed to overlook the historic Osborn vineyard, which has been operational since 1912.
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.
The top-floor balcony offers a panoramic view of the McLaren Vale vineyards framed by the Cube's modern geometric windows.
Combine your visit with a wine tasting at the cellar door located on the ground floor.
Allow extra time to explore the interactive art installations on the lower levels of the Cube before reaching the Dalí gallery.
