Exhibiting 23 of the 25 pieces in the suite, The FHM shares Dalí’s commissioned work that commemorated the 20th anniversary of Israel. At a time in his career when Dalí was particularly focused on religious works, this suite has been referenced by scholar David Blumenthal as Dalí’s intentional commitment to “the rebirth of the Jewish people” and “to the renaissance of the Jewish spirit.” Opening to the public on October 7, 2026, this special and rare exhibition will be available for a limited time through early January 2027.
