Museu Dalí

The Dalí Museum needs no introduction. Inaugurated in 1974 and built on the site of the former Teatre Municipal of Figueres, it's considered to be the final great work of Salvador Dalí. In fact, it was conceived and designed by the artist himself with the aim of offering visitors an authentic experience, and letting them explore his own particular and fantastic universe. Inside, the collection enables visitors to appreciate the artistic trajectory of Dalí, from his first artistic experiences focused on Impressionism and Cubism, Surrealism, nuclear mysticism and his passion for science up to the final works that he painted. What's more, there are also works by Antoni Pitxot, El Greco and Duchamp, among others. Two interesting features worth pointing out: Dalí was baptised in the church opposite the museum and he was buried in the former theatre itself.
