Rock icon Billy Idol made a cultural stop during his time in Florida, visiting The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg alongside his longtime guitarist Steve Stevens. The pair explored the museum’s acclaimed exhibition showcasing Salvador Dalí’s evolution as an artist, following his journey into and away from surrealism.

The post was accompanied by a series of candid photos: Billy Idol and Steve Stevens immersed in the artwork, posing in front of some of Dalí’s signature pieces, and enjoying the museum’s unique ambiance.
The Dalí Museum, located in downtown St. Petersburg, houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Salvador Dalí’s work outside of Spain. Visitors can explore a chronological display of the surrealist master’s paintings, drawings, and sculptures — from his early academic works and cubist experiments to his iconic surrealist imagery and later mystical and scientific explorations.
Among the standout attractions is the Dalí Alive 360°, an immersive, multisensory experience in the museum’s custom-built Dalí Dome. Through surround sound, dynamic projections, and an enveloping atmosphere, visitors are transported inside the mind and imagination of one of the 20th century’s most enigmatic artists.
Billy Idol’s visit highlights how The Dalí Museum continues to captivate not only art lovers but also creative minds from across the entertainment world.
