A US$36m (£23.2m, €27.8m) museum in St Petersburg, Florida, US - dedicated to the work of Spanish artist Salvador Dali - is to open on 11 January.

The Dali Museum has been designed by Yann Weymouth of HOK Architects to include more than 900 triangular-shaped glass panels. More than 2,100 works by the artist, including nearly 100 oil paintings, will be on show at the attraction - the largest collection of Dali's work outside Spain.

The 66,400sq ft (6,169sq m) building will feature 15,000sq ft (1,394sq m) of exhibition space across three galleries; a theatre; a library; and a café, as well as the Avant Garden. Replacing the current Dali Museum on Third Street South, the new attraction at Dali Boulevard also aims to act as a "flagship institution for Spanish and Catalan heritage".
