From sketch ➡️ real life design. In 1939, Dalí designed the pavilion for the New York World's Fair, titled Dream of Venus. The pavilion featured a whimsical exterior, with openings through which visitors could view a reproduction of The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. The interior held an aquatic dance show in two large swimming pools, featuring mermaids and other Dalí crafted oddities and creations. #TheDali #WorldsFair Façade of the “Dream of Venus.” Eric Schaal © Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres, 2018.
