A fairytale, a hallucination, a dream: Salvador Dalí’s work is a spectacle not to be missed. Not just on canvas, but possibly even more so in this exhibition, Dalí: The Endless Enigma. Immerse yourself in the psychedelic works of one of the world’s most magnificent artists, while listening to the sounds of Pink Floyd.

Surrender yourself to Dali’s fantastic world, filled with hyperbole and uncanny creatures. The trick is to lose yourself, to get lost, to see, to listen, and - more than anything else - to experience.

This exhibition was shown previously in the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation in Figueres, the Dalí Museum in Florida, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid and MoMA in New York. Now it’s time for the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam to host.

Thirty years after his death, Dali’s work is still a welcome escape from the familiar here and now. Presented like you’ve never seen before.

Capricious and provoking is how the works of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí are often described. He is one of the most famous architects of all time, convincing even the great Dalí to become an avid fan. Parc Güel, Casa Batlló, Casa Milà and the Sagrada Família: these are all icons.

But what makes them so unique? The wavy facades of course, but also the brightly coloured glass and ceramic, the large pillars and organic patterns. The captivating play of light and space as well. Take all of these together, and something entirely new comes into existence. This is the wonderful world of Gaudí, where there are no boundries to the imagination and therefore anything is possible.

In this immersive exhibition, visitors are being taken on a 10-minute journey along Gaudí’s extraordinary creations. Supported by George Gershwin’s music, it is Gaudí as far as your eyes can see.
