We head to the largest exhibition of Salvador Dali’s works since his 1979 Paris retrospective - the most viewed show in the Pompidou Centre's history. Also on the programme, we get a rare glimpse inside the studio of one of South Africa's most celebrated artists. Finally, the dresses that hid Frida Kahlo's pain come to light decades later... in a new exhibition.
