The Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres is an eccentric, quirky, and mysterious place, just like the artist himself. This museum is filled with unusual surprises that only the most attentive visitors can uncover. Explore the surreal world of Dalí through strange sculptures, optical illusions, still life paintings that align with Freud’s theories, and symbolic images that obsessed Dalí since his childhood.
The museum creates an illusory, theatrical world where real objects transform into figments of the imagination. Images constantly appear and disappear, offering visitors the opportunity to learn to "look and see" in a new way. The entire museum feels like stepping into a dream, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. It’s an immersive experience into Dalí’s surreal world—a place of shadows, memories, and illusion.
In addition to Dalí's iconic works, the museum also houses an impressive collection of jewels designed by the artist himself. Just a short half-hour drive from Girona, the museum in Figueres offers an unforgettable journey into the mind of one of the most famous surrealists in history.
Optional Tour: After visiting the Salvador Dalí Museum, you can continue the journey to Púbol, a small village surrounded by tranquil green meadows. Here, you’ll find the medieval Castle of Púbol, once the home of Dalí’s wife and muse, Gala. The atmosphere of their extravagant lives is preserved, with personal items, furniture, and even Gala’s clothes and cars on display. This visit offers a fascinating glimpse into Dalí’s private life and artistic relationship with Gala.
