Looking for a good cultural program in Rio, how about visiting Salvador Dalí exhibition at CCBB?
To celebrate 25 years of Banco do Brasil Cultural Centerthe institution brought a major attraction: Salvador Dali. There are 150 works, including photographs, engravings, drawings and the painter’s contributions to cinema.
The Catalan artist is the maximum expression of the surrealist movement. Visiting an exhibition dedicated to him is letting yourself be carried away by your imagination, leaving the conventional and delving into the absurd.
To give a taste of how Dalí’s head worked, a replica of an installation whose original is in his hometown Figueras, in Spain, gives the public the opportunity to experience this playful world. It allows visitors to “enter” the face of Mae West, American film star in the 1930s, and find a living room there.
