    It’s been 100 years since André Breton published his “Manifeste du surréalisme,” a booklet that sought to define what surrealism is. Loyal to the French writer and poet was Salvador Dalí, who, at least in Tampa Bay, defines the movement.

    The local museum that bears Dalí’s name (and houses the world’s second largest collection of his work) celebrates what would’ve been his 120th birthday, and the city is declaring May 11 as “Salvador Dalí Day.” Admission is slashed to $19.04 for the afternoon, and kids under 12 get in free.


    Free commemorative birthday cards will be available while supplies last, while games are planned in the Avant-Garden. They’re singing happy birthday at 1:20 p.m.

    Salvador Dalí Day happens at St. Petersburg’s Dalí Museum happening Saturday, May 11.
