Teatre-Museu Dalí, Figueres
-
Salvador Dalí was born in the town of Figueres in 1904. Paying tribute to the artist is the fantastic circular Teatre-Museu Dalí which is full of his eccentric works. The country’s second-most-visited museum (after the Prado in Madrid), housed in a former theatre, it provides a unique insight into the artist’s extraordinary creations, from La Cesta de Pan (1926) to El Torero Alucinogeno (1970). Twenty minutes’ drive away, near the lovely beach town of Cadaqués, the Dalí connection continues. Here you can visit the Casa-Museu Salvador Dalí, the artist’s summer house for nearly 60 years until his death in 1989.
