      Progress on the New Dali Museum
      If you’ve never paid a visit to the Dali Museum, you really should! It’s a fantastic land of the surreal, and walking through the museum and really taking time to absorb what you see there can create entirely new neural pathways in your brain! Dali’s works are amazing, over the top explosions of color and shape and reality gone wild, and they are nothing but fun to see. Fans who live in the area or who visit here are very lucky - the St. Petersburg Dali museum holds the largest...

          Reasons to Smile . . . In Paradise Found
          I had “high hopes” of posting this yesterday.  But (seemingly smiling) rays of sunshine and the day’s temperate climate led my husband and I to the car for a spontaneous travel adventure to Disney World Resort® in Orlando (FL).  This destination point, for people from around the world, is located only a short car ride from the South Gulf Beaches of Pinellas County (FL). Disney World Resort® features Magic Kingdom Park, Hollywood Studios, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon,...

              Largo
              Situated in the heart of Pinellas County, Largo is a family-friendly community of tree-lined streets, plentiful lakes and hundreds of acres of parkland. Home to more than 74,000 residents, Largo is the third largest city in Pinellas County. The dynamic nature of Largo might be best admired in the redevelopment of its downtown district. Largo’s West Bay Drive district is a charming collection of restaurants and shops just a short stroll from Largo Central Park, the venue for regular concert...

                Salvador Dalí Museum
                Melting clock faces. Nightmarish landscapes. Whimsical creatures. Love him or hate him, you can’t be neutral about Dalí. The city of St. Petersburg scored a phenomenal art coup in the late 1970s when it secured the world’s most comprehensive collection of Dalí outside his native Spain — the 20th Century’s most famous surrealist painter and self-promoter extraordinaire. In addition to 96 oil paintings, some over 14 feet tall, the extraordinary collection includes over 10...

                  Leepa-Rattner Museum
                  Your adventure into 20th century art begins even before you walk into the Leepa-Rattner Museum in Tarpon Springs because the museum itself is a work of art. This award-winning architectural compression of three buildings in one offers a post-modernist spin on the bow of a ship, a tribute to the area’s rich fishing heritage. The experience intensifies inside. There you will discover the art of Abraham Rattner, a figurative expressionist who worked in Paris in the 1920s and 30s and became on...
