Dome Night: Pink Floyd returns to The Dali Museum
Inspired by Salvador Dalí’s environmental and immersive artistic creations such as those for the 1939 World’s Fair, The Dalí Dome provides the community with new multi-sensory experiences celebrating art of all forms. New evening shows will be presented in this unique, 360-degree format.
Now playing in The Dalí Dome is the immersive show, “Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon.” Over 50 years after the iconic album’s original release in 1973, celebrate and experience it while encompassed in 360 degrees of sight, sound and sensation. This experience offers—like Salvador Dalí’s art—a glimpse into creative worlds that are both remarkably insightful and fantastically unconventional.
