Dream of Venus&#8221;, which can be visited up to 28 February at the New Rooms of the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum in Figueres. Organised by the &#8220;la Caixa&#8221; Foundation and the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation, the exhibition forms part of the commemorative events for the 25th anniversary of inauguration of the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum. The minister was accompanied by the mayor of Figueres, Joan Armangu\u00e9; the president of the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation, Ramon Boixad\u00f3s; the director of the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum, Antoni Pitxot; and the director and assistant director of the Dal\u00ed Study Centre, F\u00e8lix Fan\u00e9s and Montse Aguer, respectively, who acted as commissioners of the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>The dream of Venus is the name that Dal\u00ed gave to the pavilion he designed for the 1939 World&#8217;s Fair in New York, and which later served as inspiration for the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum. During assembly of the pavilion, on an esplanade in the Queens district, the artist fell out with the sponsors, who had altered some of his proposals and thus provoked his displeasure. Indeed, Dal\u00ed abandoned the project before its official inauguration on 15 June 1939. Prior to that, he had been involved in one of his famous scandals &#8211; breaking a shop window in the Bonwit Teller stores on Fifth Avenue &#8211; and had drafted the manifesto Declaration of the Independence of the Imagination and the Rights of Man to his Own Madness, which was released over New York from an aeroplane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister for Culture of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia, Jordi Vilajoana, today inaugurated the exhibition &#8220;Salvador Dal\u00ed.
