“Dalí Alive 360°,” the immersive experience showcasing Salvador Dalí's works in the new dome on the grounds of The Dalí Museum, is opening to the public on Thursday. We got a first look during a media preview. Animations of Dalí's works are projection-mapped from the floor to the ceiling, enveloping the viewer and giving 3D effects. Key moments from Dalí's life and memorable quotes by the artist appear in text, with a musical soundtrack rounding out the experience. “Dalí Alive” was co-produced by the museum and Grande Experiences. “Dalí Alive 360°” was customized for the dome by Omnispace360, which also engineered the dome and sound projections.
