Salvador Dali never set foot in this Gulf Coast city where the dominant art form is the watercolor beachscape. But in a strange twist worthy of one of the Spanish surrealist master&#039;s paintings, St. Petersburg will soon be home to a new &#36;30 million signature museum to house the world&#039;s most comprehensive collection of Dali&#039;s work.

Michael Govan, the director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, said late Monday that he believed Eli Broadâs decision to keep his art collection in a private foundation that makes loans to museums is a positive development because it means none of the artworks will be sold, an act that would limit access to them by the Los Angeles museum and others. The museum will open the $56 million Broad Contemporary Art Museum next month, and it has long been speculated that Mr. Broad would donate his collection at least in part to the museum. But Mr. Broad said he had recently decided to keep his collection in his foundation because no museum, the Los Angeles one included, could commit to exhibiting a significant portion of it permanently. Asked if he viewed Mr. Broadâs decision as demonstrating a lack of confidence in him or the museum, Mr. Govan said: âQuite the reverse. Since Day 1 heâs privately and publicly given me a lot of support.â Mr. Govan said that âfrom the public perspective, I donât think most people care when they walk in the door whether the museum owns the works or not, as long as they donât lose themâ to private sales. And, he added, âheâs got 2,000 works, so there is plenty to go around.â.
