Three lectures exploring the Catalan genius
On the occasion of the exhibition “Dalí. Revolution and Tradition”, the Museo del Corso presents a series of three lectures dedicated to exploring the many facets of Salvador Dalí’s artistic vision: his relationship with artistic tradition, his dialogue with psychoanalysis and modernity, and his interest in science and new frontiers of thought.
The initiative, with free admission (reservation recommended), will take place in the Sala Rebecchini at Palazzo Sciarra Colonna and will also be streamed live on the Museum’s social media channels.
