Is anyone else as excited by this as me?? It was only a few days ago that I blogged about my favourite painting of Dali's (see the link in my sig) and today I found out a MASSIVE Dali exhibition is coming to Melbourne (National Gallery of Victoria) in June 2009!!!!

I am beside myself with excitement!!!

Also, the Pompeii Body Casts are coming around the same time to the Melbourne Museum! I think a Melbourne trip is a must for my birthday in June!!

ooooh, Dali...I will be there, sounds great!

Museum in general is great too, and they have a childrens museum and outdoor undercover play area, its really nice.

rayray - I grew up in Melbourne and I have NEVER been to the NGV!!! I have been to the Melbourne Museum countless times - I usually go every few months if there is a new exhibition! But never the NGV.

I am just so excited

Dali is my FAVOURITE surrealist and has been for as long as I could remember and to be able to see is work up close and personal is like meeting a celebrity - I am jumping out of my skin!

I wonder if Galatea of the Spheres will be there...

Wow - I saw a lot of Dali pieces when I was in Spain and they are definitely worth seeing.

I remember seeing the Pompeii body casts when they were out here last - I think I was 7! So when I was in Italy I went and saw them again at Pompeii - it is so eerie but fascinating.

I will definitely be going to see both of them when they are here too.
