The Dali exhibition depicts the work of the father of Surrealism through a number of limited edition pieces which will also be on sale from around £1,299.

The Halcyon gallery display includes pieces that helped make Dali a household name including examples of how he transformed everyday images into iconic, surrealist symbols.

The renowned melting watches image, reputedly inspired by a dream about camembert cheese melting on a hot day, features prominently in the exhibition.
