Weekend Finds: The Korean BBQ, Icelandic Boutique, and Dalí Exhibit We Loved

"The Dalí Museum, home to more than 2,400 of Salvador Dali’s paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and photos, has long been on my list of things to do back home in South Florida. But its location, about three and a half hours north of Fort Lauderdale, where I’m from, meant it was hard to fit into short visits. During a recent stint in Florida, I decided to make a day trip of it with my family—and it was absolutely worth the hours we spent in the car. The museum’s app does an excellent guided tour, walking you through many of Dali’s most notable pieces, and explaining more than I could ever glean from reading the placards alone. Another bonus? The immersive Van Gogh Alive exhibit is on display through April 11, featuring floor-to-ceiling screens that display Van Gogh’s paintings, rotating through Starry Night, Sunflowers, and lesser-known works, along with quotes from the artist, many of which are pulled from letters he sent to his brother. The museum is operating at limited capacity, so timed tickets must be reserved, and face masks worn inside. Out back, there’s a great garden to check out, too: Leave your wristbands on the Wishing Tree installation and be sure to snap a picture in front of the giant mustache."
