Enter the weird and wonderful world of one of the most famous modern artists to date, Salvador Dali, and get up, close and personal with his masterpieces in the Dali Theatre Museum of Figueres, designed by Dali himself.
In the 1960’s, Salvador Dali decided to construct his own museum inside the ruins of the old Municipal Theatre of Figueres, previously destroyed in the Civil War. Every nook and cranny of the building represents the playful, witty, reverent, unexpected and surreal style that Dali was known for. With an expert guide in tow, you will see the widest range of works by Dali, spanning his entire artistic career, from his early paintings to his surrealist creations all the way to his final works from last years of his life.
Travel in an AVE high-speed train from Barcelona to Figueres and back, and get engrossed in the legacy of this artistic genius, famous for questioning conventional norms and adopting his own signature style. Dali’s legacy today is far beyond anything one could have imagined.
