A sculpture of Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, in front of the Dalí Universe

Dalí Universe is a permanent exhibition of art works by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí which is housed in a 3,000 square metre (32,000 square feet) suite of galleries at County Hall in London, England. It opened in 2000. Over 500 works are on display, including sculptures dating from 1935-1984, drawings, lithographs, gold and glass objects and a Dalí-inspired furniture collection. It does not feature major paintings. The exhibition was originally curated by Beniamino Levi, who worked with Dalí on the development of his sculptures.

Technically Dalí Universe is an exhibit at the County Hall Gallery, which also stages other art exhibitions, but it is much better known under its own name.

Dalí himself created the Teatro Museo in his home town of Figueres in Catalonia. There is also a Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, and a Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades, California, both in the United States. Paris is home to the Espace Dali, another independent gallery devoted to the works of the surrealist artist.
