The local council decided to extend the exhibition until October 8 after it was seen by almost 18,000 in the four weeks since it opened, a spokesman for the museum said.
On October 5, any visitor who has a pencil-thin moustache ? the flamboyant trademark of the great surrealist ? sports a temporary Dalí tattoo or wears a Catalan-style hat will be admitted to the exhibition free of charge.
The 117 Dalí works on display in Szeged are from the collection of Richard H. Mayer, a German who amassed the largest private collection of the artist?s works ? some 1,500 drawings, graphic works and water colours ? in the region over a forty-year period. Most of the works shown in Szeged Dalí created as illustrations for well known works of literature.
