      <image:title>Best of Ringling 2025 - Virtual Reality Development - Beth Harrison Digital Experiences Director at The Dalí Museum</image:title>
      <image:caption>Beth Harrison is the Digital Experiences Director at The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, where she leads the museum’s award-winning digital innovation initiatives. Her work blends art, technology, and storytelling to create immersive experiences that deepen visitors' engagement with Salvador Dalí’s legacy. She has overseen major projects like Dreams of Dalí, the museum’s virtual reality journey; Dalí Alive 360°, an immersive dome show; The Dream Tapestry, which turns visitor dreams into AI-generated art; and Ask Dalí, a surreal installation that lets guests speak with a lifelike AI version of the artist himself. Beth also helped bring the museum to the Bloomberg Connects platform, expanding its global reach through mobile and digital tours. As she puts it, “Technology allows The Dalí to extend its reach beyond its geography to connect with visitors, art enthusiasts, and fellow institutions around the world.”</image:caption>
