Dali, Chihuly and Degas? It?s possible to see all three in one weekend in the Tampa Bay area ? and still have time to savor the beach. The new Salvador Dali Museum, which opened in St. Petersburg in January, is the latest in a string of splashy arts venues on Florida?s west coast. The $33 million Tampa Museum of Art ? soon to host a Degas show ? opened in February 2010. And the Chihuly Collection, a permanent gallery devoted to the vibrant glassworks of artist Dale Chihuly, who attended UW-Madison, was unveiled across the bay in St. Petersburg in July.
