But the Divina Dali exhibit is much more than just a collection of paintings.

The carefully curated, locally made music and theatrical lighting effects are the backdrop for these original artworks and will transport you into a world of wonder, where the profound artworks will leave a lasting impression.

The Divine Comedy is a long narrative poem written by Dante Alighieri in the early 14th century. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The poem is widely considered a masterpiece of world literature and is often cited as one of the greatest works of Western literature. Dante’s journey through hell, purgatory, and heaven is a metaphor for the soul’s journey towards God.
