Dali Universe - County Hall Gallery

I paid almost $30.00 Canadian to look at a bunch of posters!? There are no notable works of art here. Most, if not all of the 'works' on display are reproductions, prints, and pieces 'inspired' by Dali. There is absolutely nothing of interest to an art lover here. The 'Dali Universe' is a 100 % scam. Why pay money to look at reproductions... of an artists least interesting work? The Picasso section downstairs (which costs extra up front, but anyone can just walk in to) is no better, with little more than a handful of tapestries and ceramics.

I've seen a few of these scams, erm, operations around the Continent. They all promise an opulent extravanganza of mind blowing proportions, a one-of-a-kind collection of masterpieces. And they are filled with nothing more than cheap reproductions, posters advertising past exhibits, and a big sign saying "no refunds'.

If you are in a group and you haven't made up your mind, try sending one of your party ahead to take a look and let them tell you if it's worth it.

Bottom line, if you are an art lover such as myself, you wll feel robbed. If you're new to Dali, you'll wonder what the big deal is. Save your money. In fact save your time- I wouldn't go if it was free.

there is far more in this place then you might think. lovely staff helped us reduce the entrance price with a student and 20% map discount (you can get these maps anywhere and they have vouchers for london attractions). there is great variety and you see many pieces that are not as well known, a scattering of furniture, sculpture, sketches and statues. the only thing that disappointed me was the size of the gift shop as there wasn't a huge array of choice.

Dali's work is not something i have an interest in really. A couple of weeks ago i came to London for a weeks holiday. On my last day i went into the Dali Exhibition, at County Hall. It was on behalf of my daughter really, who loves Dali's work.

I did think it was a bit expensive at £12.00, but i was blown away by what i saw. It was fantasic, so much too see, and so many models to look at.

I was impressed, and i liked the section on Picasso. I went into the gift shop at the end to buy my daughter something for her birthday. I was very pleased with how i was looked after by the staff member that was on duty. She was very helpful.

I had a lovely time there, and would quite happily go there again, next time with my daughter.
