Why the Dalí Theatre-Museum is unique

Dalí designed this museum himself on the ruins of the old municipal theatre of his hometown, Figueres, and conceived it as a single total work of art. Opened in 1974, it was his last great project and also his resting place: the artist is buried in the crypt beneath the stage. A geodesic dome, giant loaves and eggs on the facade and rooms like the Mae West Room make the visit feel theatrical rather than a classic exhibition.

How to plan your visit

• Buy your ticket on the official site with a date and time; it sells out in summer and holidays.
• Arrive at your ticket time: there is access control and last entry is 45 minutes before closing.
• Start in the central courtyard (the Rainy Taxi) and follow the rooms in order, without expecting a straight line: the museum is a deliberate maze.
• The Theatre-Museum and Dalí Jewels (the jewellery collection) are separate visits; check the official site if you need a separate ticket.
• Point the AnyArt app at any work or detail to hear its story, an alternative to an audio guide.

Combine it with your trip

Figueres is around 140 km north of Barcelona and can be reached by high-speed train, regional train or bus; check timetables before you go. Many visitors link the museum with Cadaqués and the Portlligat house, or with Púbol Castle. A combined ticket with La Pedrera in Barcelona is also available.
