The Dali Museum is taking the show on the road.<\/p>\n

The ribbon was cut Wednesday morning on the museum\u2019s Art Mobile, a collaborative project with the Pinellas County School Board.<\/p>\n

Inside is a veritable Dali Lite exhibit, designed for mid-elementary school students, as a way of introducing the surrealist legend\u2019s work, beliefs and methodology to a new audience of appreciators.<\/p>\n

Although Pinellas schools have used the \u201ctraveling museum\u201d format for decades, said PreK-12 Visual Arts Specialist Jonathan Ogle, the interactive Dali Art Bus marks a turning point for both organizations. This version is something special. \u201cFor many, it\u2019s their very first museum experience, without even having to leave their school.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dali educational team, Ogle added, \u201cput a lot of thought and imagination into this enormous project.\u201d<\/p>\n

When youngsters enter the 40-foot, air-conditioned converted trailer, they\u2019ll first watch a 10-minute film, from St. Petersburg\u2019s Roundhouse Creative, in which three kids explore \u2013 in actual kid fashion \u2013 just what this Spanish dude with the freaky moustache was all about. It\u2019s an entertaining introduction to the Dali Art Bus experience to come.<\/p>\n

Their own teachers will serve as docents when the children are in the art bus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no project of this scale that doesn\u2019t come together with a lot of talented people,\u201d stressed Kim Macuare, the Dali\u2019s Director of Education.<\/p>\n

The Florida Arts Educators Conference takes place in St. Petersburg this week, she explained. \u201cWith this ongoing relationship with Pinellas County Schools, we actually have a commitment to not only serving 30,000 Pinellas County students, but we\u2019re hoping that teachers from other counties will see this mobile museum and decide they want to bring it to their counties.\u201d<\/p>\n

The museum\u2019s next exhibit, Alberto Giacometti & Salvador Dal\u00ed: Through & Beyond Surrealism, will debut Nov. 15.<\/p>\n
