Coinciding with the Dual Year Spain-Russia, the Dalí Foundation opened this exhibition, entitled Salvador Dalí: a retrospective, at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. It is the mayor retrospective ever celebrated in this country with original works.

The show includes works from the very early years (20s) down to Dalí's last canvases. It offers the visitor an opportunity to see his evolution, not only technical but also his influences, iconography, ideological sources, symbolism, of his original universe.
