Don't Stroke The Exhibition

I've been traveling out to the Tampa area a fair amount lately and staying in Saint Petersburg. Mostly I think Florida is kind of tacky. But I like Saint Pete. It's a clean, nice looking small city. There are harbors everywhere and a small but active airport I can watch out of my hotel window.


Last week the weather was just about perfect and I had some time on Friday to walk around and enjoy the sites.


You can't see them in this photo, but this badboy had 8' tentacles.


I took the opportunity to go the the Salvador Dali Museum. I didn't know anything about Dali, but the building itself is extremely interesting and I had heard good things.


The building was probably my favorite part.


Upon entering the building, a museum attendant greeted me and informed me that she likes elephants.

I couldn't take photos in the galleries, but the car being driven by an old-timey scuba diver on the main floor was fair game.


I started to get an idea what the place was going to be like...


Overall, I was left with the following impressions:
1 - I don't get it.
2 - Why is there a little kid in a sailor suit in the corner of that painting? That really creeps me out.

Did you ever figure out what elephants had to do with anything?

I don't think it had anything to do with anything. I'm guessing that was supposed to be the point. Or something.
