At Markt 7, inside Bruges’ Belfry, Museum-Gallery XPO Salvador Dali brings more than 300 works by the Spanish artist into a compact exhibition. Look for lithographs, drawings, sculptures and surreal objects, with mirrors and vivid, richly patterned decor shaping the rooms. The setting puts Dalí’s dreamlike art against the medieval building around it. An audio guide adds context to works that can be difficult to read on sight alone, so consider adding one if you want more than a quick look.
Works on display
The collection brings together graphic art, drawings, sculptures and surreal objects. Some pieces reveal Dalí’s working ideas and drafts, while others turn those ideas into three-dimensional forms. The exhibition includes less familiar work alongside pieces that give a sense of his distinctive visual approach.
An audio guide explains some of the more obscure works. Many pieces have little or no explanatory text, so the guide can help you follow the ideas behind what you are seeing. Descriptions and nearby displays do not always correspond neatly, so check the work itself as you listen.
The exhibition rooms
Mirrors appear at the start of the exhibition, and bold colors and elaborate patterns continue through the interior. The decor gives the rooms a theatrical character, though it can draw attention away from the art for some visitors. The compact layout packs a large number of works into a relatively small space.
