EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 4!
The unlikely combination of Salvador Dali and Walt Disney is the subject of Dali and Disney: The Art and Animation of Destino. The exhibit displays eight prints of art Dali created for the film "Destino", and visitors may view the animated short, which has only been seen in limited release since its completion.

In 1946, Salvador Dali began a collaboration with Walt Disney Studios on a short animation piece called Destino, slated to be part of a proposed feature film. After eight months - during which Dali produced paintings, pen-and-ink drawings and storyboards - Disney abandoned the project for financial reasons. In 1999, Walt Disney's nephew, Roy Disney, resurrected Destino from the Disney vaults, and the film was finally completed in 2003.

Dali and Disney: The Art and Animation of Destino will be on view in Gallery 209, adjacent to the Great Hall, and is free and open to the public during regular museum hours. The exhibition is organized by The Dayton Art Institute and is on loan from the collection of Dr. Lawrence and Holley Thompson.
