Statewide Interest: |
The Dali Museum is a unique cultural and economic development asset that draws hundreds of thousands of tourists, students and Florida residents every year. The collection of Salvador Dali art is valued in the range of $300-$400 million. The current location and design of the building place this collection in jeopardy if a hurricane were to strike the Tampa Bay region. In order to preserve this unique asset for future generations, it must be moved to a safer location, with a hurricane-hardened facility. |

Project Description: |
The Dali Museum requires a new facility in order to protect its collection from potential hurricane damage and to better serve its visitors. Its current single-story building is located on land leased form the City of St. Petersburg until 2072 and is adjacent to the USF St. Petersburg campus. USFSP would like to acquire the Dali building and site to provide for University growth. The City believes the economy of the region will benefit if the Museum is relocated downtown, and will provide a premium site where the museum may construct a new building. State assistance is requested to provide building funds directly to the Dali Museum for these efforts. |
