With its seemingly single-minded focus, St. Petersburg’s Salvador Dalí Museum might seem like the kind of place where, if you’ve visited once, you’ve been there and done that. Not so — and three exhibitions (two of which end tomorrow) are compelling proof. Though visitors will still have an opportunity to take in the Spanish surrealist’s masterworks (more or less perpetually on display), a video installation by contemporary Catalan artist Mabel Palacín is the latest evidence of the museum’s commitment to commissioning “new work from emerging artists who explore the legacies of the Avant-garde, Surrealism and Dalí,” according to curator William Jeffett. The 23-minute, double-screen video (shot in hi-def) offers viewers an unconventional experience of time through scenes filmed in four locations. Elsewhere, images by photographer Marc Lacroix, who died in 2007, offer insights into Dalí and wife Gala’s personal and creative lives, while an exhibition of glass sculptures afford a glimpse of the artist’s work in that luminous medium. Mabel Palacín: Una noche sin fin [An Endless Night] is on display through Jan. 24, and Dalí at Work and Play: The Photographs of Marc Lacroix and Dalí: Seen Through Glass are presented through Nov. 2, 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Mon.-Wed. and Sat., 9:30 a.m.-8 p.m. Thurs., 9:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Fri., noon-5:30 p.m. Sun., 1000 Third St. S., St. Petersburg, $15 adults/$13.50 seniors/$10 students, 727-823-3767, salvadordalimuseum.org. —Megan Voeller
