About the Salvador Dalí Archives Museum

Félix Bélanger creates experiences where art becomes a space for connection, curiosity, and transformation. A Montréal-based cultural entrepreneur and creative producer, he has built his career across theatre, film, and art direction.

As the creator of the Divina Dalí exhibition, he is also the visionary behind the Salvador Dalí Archives Museum, a project born from a desire to reveal not only the artworks themselves, but also the creative spirit that brings them to life.

A leading figure of Quebec theatre, Lorraine Pintal headed the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde for more than thirty years, becoming its artistic and executive director in 1992, the first woman to hold the position. Under her leadership, the TNM strengthened its foundations, balanced its programming between great classics and Quebec creations, carried out a major renovation and regained its international reach. Trained at the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Montréal, an actor, stage director, author, filmmaker and host, she has directed more than 150 productions over a career of nearly five decades. Co-founder of the Théâtre de la Rallonge, which she co-directed from 1975 to 1991, she is a Member of the Order of Canada (2002) and of the Ordre de Montréal, and a recipient of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement (2019) and of a special award from the Carmelle and Rémi Marcoux Chair in Arts Management at HEC Montréal (2025). She agreed to come out of retirement from leading cultural institutions to head the MASD.

Nicolas Saint-Cyr creates experiences where space, image and technology become playgrounds for the imagination. A Montreal creative director, he has worked for more than twenty years at the crossroads of design, digital media, exhibitions and immersive environments.

At the MASD, he brings this approach to a museum that does more than show Dalí. He shapes a journey that invites visitors to step into his mind, shift their perspective and discover what lies behind the work.
