Dali’s Wonderland

The Panhandle-Plains Historical Mu-
seum (PPHM) recently debuted its new-
est exhibit, “Dali’s Wonderland.”

PPHM is excited to welcome this new

exhibition in its Bugbee Gallery.Original-
ly published by Lewis Carrollin 1865,the

dream-like world of ”Alice in Wonder-
land” is a natural match for the surrealist

art movement. Ahundred years later, Sal-
vador Dali, surrealism’s most important

figure, illustrated a version of the story
that incorporated his iconic melting
clocks and other avant-garde imagery.
Featuring a limited edition copy of the
book from the personal library of SybilB.

Harrington, it was a gift from her daugh-
ter Sally.This book came into Panhandle-
Plains Historical Museum Collection in

2022 through the help of the Harrington
House and Jessica Mallard at WT. “Dali’s
Wonderland” explores the relationship
between art and literature.

as A&M University, PPHM offers visi-
