Dalí. Revolution and Tradition
October 17, 2025 – February 1, 2026
Scientific direction by Montse Aguer with curatorship by Carme Ruiz González and Lucia Moni, organized by Fondazione Roma in collaboration with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí and with the organizational support of MondoMostre.
The exhibition Dalí. Revolution and Tradition presents a selection of over 60 works, including paintings and drawings, accompanied by photographic and audiovisual documents that explore the artist’s creative universe and his profound relationship with the great masters of the past and of his time.
Dalí’s artistic production, from his youth to his final works, constantly oscillates between two seemingly opposing poles: revolution and tradition. Dalí nurtures a profound admiration and fascination for the masters of the past, among his favorites: Velázquez, Vermeer, and Raphael. Yet another artist cannot be overlooked — his contemporary and fellow countryman, with whom Dalí maintained an ambivalent relationship: Pablo Picasso.
The exhibition, organized by Fondazione Roma in collaboration with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí and with the organizational support of MondoMostre, is curated by Carme Ruiz González and Lucia Moni under the scientific direction of Montse Aguer. The project brings together works from the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí as well as from other prestigious international institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza.

It’s all surreal!
Fixed-schedule educational workshop
Target audience: children aged 6–12In 1948, Salvador Dalí published an essay entitled 50 Magical Secrets for Painting, in which he lamented the loss of technical skills of the great masters of the past such as Raphael, Vermeer, and Velázquez. In it, he proposed to share some of his secrets, which he called “recipes” for “a kind of culinary initiation” into painting.
Educators will apply to the letter secret number 3, that is, to “doze off with a key” before approaching painting, to create a disorienting atmosphere that encourages children to enter Dalí’s visionary world. After this unusual and very brief “siesta,” the children will make a pencil drawing of a key, around which each child will give voice to their inventive imagination through a very special collage where small objects will be transformed into ideographic signs. Children will be able to take their creations home.
– Available for the FIXED-SCHEDULE EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP IN ITALIAN only in October 2025, November 2025, and January 2026 (including February 1).
– Available for SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS UPON BOOKING (preschool, primary) from October 2025 to February 2026. -
“Can a clock melt like cheese?”
Fixed-schedule educational workshop
Target audience: children aged 6–12The Persistence of Memory, one of Dalí’s most enigmatic paintings, is also known as The Soft Watches. As the artist recounted, the inspiration came at the end of a solitary dinner from observing the soft consistency and round shape of a Camembert cheese on the table. The clock is the ultimate instrument for measuring time — but is there a temporal dimension in Dalí’s works? Through guided group reading of the paintings on display, children will discover how the artist was able to give a dreamlike, even “delirious,” interpretation of time, while still fixing the shadows of objects or painting a twilight on the horizon.
The workshop activity will invite participants to replace the numbers and hands on the dial of a previously drawn clock with images, phrases, and words cut out from various magazines, creating a collage that, through surprising juxtapositions, will reveal a very personal vision of time. Children will be able to take their creations home.
– Available for the FIXED-SCHEDULE EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP IN ITALIAN only in December 2025.
– Available for SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS UPON BOOKING (primary, lower secondary) from October 2025 to February 2026.
