We visited the Dali exhibition and have nothing but stellar things to say!
First off, the staff spoke immaculate English, were very friendly, helpful and above all knowledgeable about the exhibit we visited.
The staffmember greeting us at the door spoke with enthusiasm and passion about the exhibit. This really helped us understand that this exhibit focuses on Dali's live and how his art developed throughout, changing with big moments and milestones, not just the most famous artworks.
We had a great time examining his works up close, in detail. For anyone who is a fan of Dali, for any artist (aspiring or accomplished), I highly recommend paying the Atkinson a visit! We were just in the nick of time to still visit the Dalí Universe Exhibition (it's on until sometime in October I think) , and if you happen to be in the area definitely swing by!

WOW is the perfect name for the experience of being in this Atkinson Museum! The Dalí exhibit was amazing and enlightening; the displays were wonderful. Even the write up of each piece, art, photo, and object was informative and inspiring. There’s also an area for children. Inside the gift shop we talked with Mr. Costas who was beyond helpful and knowledgeable, an absolute delight to meet who answered all our questions and who gratefully shared his knowledge. The other museums in this cultural center were wonderful to visit especially the cork museum! Obrigado, muito obrigado,Porto!

Exceeded our expectations! The staff were all remarkably friendly, and offered additional information and stories about the Dali exhibit before we entered which added an incredibly personal touch. It's wonderful being in an artistic space where the folks running it so clearly enjoy what they do. Highly recommend!

I've been to several Dali museums (e.g. Figures and St Petersburg) and solo exhibits so i was keepingan open mind. I was very pleased by the exhibit. The Dali interpretations of Goya' 80 caprichos, the showing of Desiro, the short film with Disney, and the photos of Dali in different settings were impressive if you are interested in the artist as much as his work, this exhibit is impressive.

Learning about Salvador Dali‘s life through the Dali exhibition was inspiring. One of the best moments was watching the Disney film that Salvador Dali originally made in the mid 1950s. The exhibit chronologically examines his life, displaying lots of his drawings and covers he made for magazines like Vogue. There are no large wall to wall paintings here like the ones seen in St. Petersburg, Florida, Dali Museum but the exhibit definitely gave me a greater understanding of his life and how he became a surrealist artist. Really well done exhibit, definitely worth exploring and so happy I found it.

My husband and I recently took part in a tour of the Dalí Universe Exhibition located in The Atkinson Museum at World of Wine. The exhibition is a rare look into a large variety of works which are part of a private collection. Our tour was guided by the exhibit's lovely curator, Andreia Esteves. I highly recommend!

Magnificent, today's guided tour, with curator Andreia!
Salvador Dalí, surrealist, genius and visionary on display in the cultural district designed by another visionary, who gave a new soul to the historic center of Gaia. It's worth going through everything.

Excellent exhibition, gives a comprehensive view of the life and the diverse work of Dali. The ticket was affordable, and the information on the exhibits complete. Dali’s view of the “how” we should portray Christ is impressive. A view that the official Church should hear!

Having just arrived in Porto, I was drawn to an advertisement for the Dalí exhibit as I was leaving the airport.
The Dalí Universe Exhibition at the World of Wine’s Atkinson Museum did not disappoint. It takes you through the artist’s life, and his work in detail. I suspect much of it unknown by many who know him only by his signature surrealism. A treat near the end was the animated short “Destino”, a collaboration with Walt Disney.
The museum staff, specifically Margarita and Roberto, were engaging and professional. Bravo!

Saw the Dali exhibit and was really impressed. We have been to Dali exhibitions all over the world and even his house. There are pieces in this collection you cannot see anywhere. Most is curated from private collections and many you will never find even in the catalogues. It was nice visiting with Paulo as we exited and have him share his enthusiasm and knowledge of the exhibition. A must see in Porto. The entire WOW area is a great place to dine or have a spritz with a great view of Porto across the river. Highly recommended
