AI Salvador Dalí to Visit MOSI as Part of Art & Science Museum Mashup

Talk to the Man Behind the Mustache

A reimagined Salvador Dalí will make his way across the Bay, on loan from The Dalí, to complement MOSI’s special exhibition Artificial Intelligence: Your Mind & The Machine.

Dalí Lives is a digital experience that allows visitors to hear about the legendary artist’s inspirations and motivations as they talk with an AI-generated Salvador Dalí on an interactive life-size screen.

“At MOSI, we love that ‘aha’ moment when a guest discovers that science and art are connected—and you can’t have one without the other. And who better to help you come to that realization than a re-creation of Dalí, an artist who was so passionate about science and discovery?” said John Graydon Smith, President and CEO of MOSI.

The virtual re-creation of Dalí adds a unique twist of art and AI above and beyond the already engaging Artificial Intelligence: Your Mind & The Machine, which is the first traveling exhibit of its kind to explore the real impact of artificial intelligence.

Get Creative with Hands-On Science

Science educators from MOSI will present engaging, hands-on experiments and activities at The Dalí on the second Thursday of each month, September through December, from 5-7pm.

Additionally, this fall, visitors will have the opportunity to join a conversation on art and technology at MOSI, hosted by The Dalí.

“Salvador Dalí was endlessly inspired by the world around him—including science—which shaped his art. This collaboration gives audiences at both museums a unique opportunity to experience that connection between art and science in a new and meaningful way,” said Kathy Greif, Chief Operating Officer of The Dalí Museum.

This Dalí Museum/MOSI mashup will continue through the fall of 2025. Learn more about MOSI’s Artificial Intelligence: Your Mind & The Machine at mosi.org and see The Dalí Museum’s events calendar for upcoming activities at TheDali.org.
