Dali Universe - County Hall Gallery

We went to Dali Universe on a whim when we were walking by the London Eye in London. It cost about 6 Pounds and it was a complete waste of money. It's very small and although a few of the works are interesting, the whole "Universe" experience is not worth the coin. Considering the US Dollar is so weak against the Pound right now, you can find other things to spend your money on.

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.
