Shows up now. Very cool pics blitty!

Looks like it's behind glass? When I went to Musée d'Orsay in Paris, I was amazed to see all these classics on the walls, totally unprotected, including a couple of the famous Van Gogh self-portraits - a deranged individual could've knifed the paintings well before security could have a chance to catch him. Makes me think that they mostly hang reproductions on walls.

I don't think this is the most valuable painting in the world though. I think another Van Gogh (Starry Night ??) and some Picassos and Klimts have fetched more than 50 mil. Maybe Pollock and Dali too.

Yeah it was behind heavy plexiglass matty. surprised the cruise ship could afford to just put it up in one of the restaurants on board

I love Dali. I am currently drinking coffee from my favorite mug which has The Disintegration of The Persistence of Memory on it. A friend of mine got it for me. Not in Spain though. It's from the Salvadore Dali Museum in St. Petersburgh, Florida.

I didn't clue in right away that this thread was about your travels. That's why I started rambling about the most valuable paintings. These are cool pics.

The most expensive paining was done by Jackson Pollock.

It sold for $149.7 million in 2006. The name of the painting is "No. 5, 1948."

wow the painting is like a mood ring

Pollock may have done the most expensive painting to date but he will never be able to match Dali in terms of how sharp he looks with a dolphin on his head.
