About
A free-form geodesic bubble of 1,062 glass triangles, called the Enigma, erupts from an eighteen-inch concrete block built to ride out a hurricane, and it rises about seventy-five feet over the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront. Inside, a helical staircase spirals upward in a nod to Dali's fixation on the double helix, leading to the largest collection of his work outside Europe. The walls hold the late wall-sized masterworks, among them The Hallucinogenic Toreador and The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, paintings you stand back from to take in whole.
