“This exhibition is absolutely unique, it is the most complete large exhibition of Dali, which has been in our country in general for all history,” said Vladimir Voronchenko, chairman of the board of the cultural and historical foundation Svyaz Vremeni, director of the Faberge Museum. “It includes absolutely all periods of the artist’s work : from an early period of passion for impressionism in the 1910s to the 1980s. We can see all of Dali’s work, all his professional and personal growth. "

According to him, the exhibition at the Manege will also be unique in size - more than 7 thousand meters, includes art objects, two cinemas, a recreation area.

It is expected that Russia's largest exhibition of works by Salvador Dali will become no less popular than last year's exhibition of Mexican artists Frida Calo and Diego Rivera.

The head of the Moscow City Department of Culture, Alexander Kibovsky, noted that this exhibition is extremely important for Moscow, because it allows citizens to see the exposition of a world-class master without leaving abroad. The Ambassador of Spain to the Russian Federation, Fernando Valderram Pareja, noted that today, visitors from Russia occupy the second largest number of all visitors to the Dali Museum in Figueres, and their number is constantly growing.
