history Collector, industrialist and museum founder.

A. Reynolds Morse and Eleanor Reese began their marriage and their lifelong involvement with DalĂ­ and his wife, Gala, as friends and collectors with the purchase of their first painting Daddy Longlegs of the Evening-Hope! in 1943. They spent the following 40 years seeking out the artist's work and assembling the largest private collection of Dali's art in the world.
