An amazing museum of the life and work of one of the outstanding artists of the 20th century, Salvador Dali!!! Authentic exhibits and an amazing atmosphere! A must-visit!
The first time I visited this iconic place was in 2011, with a tour of the Theater-Museum and the Castle of Pubol. Since that time, I have had unforgettable impressions. Therefore, being in Spain in April 2024, I decided to definitely drive to Figueres and go to the Theater Museum. I lived in a hotel in Santa Susanna, from which there is a direct train to Figueres. Travel time is 1 hour and 40 minutes. When I reached the place, I quickly got my bearings and headed towards the museum, along the way I was helped by signs. Since, for obvious reasons, I could not buy an entrance ticket online, I had to stand in a 15-minute queue at the ticket office. There were only tickets left for the 17.00 session, and I bought them. Since the museum closes at 6 p.m., I realized that there would not be enough time to walk around calmly and plunge into the atmosphere, installations, paintings of the great hoaxer. Therefore, I walked through all the halls as quickly as possible, staying where I had planned in advance. At 17.50, the museum's caretakers began to crowd visitors to the exit, blocking the entrances to the halls with works. Nevertheless, souvenir shops were open after 6 p.m., until the last visitor left. I think it's disrespectful to tourists to expel them from the museum without letting them see the rest of the exposition. Spaniards do not recycle at all - this applies to absolutely everything: banks, shops, museums... They open late, close early, and even a siesta :)) It's good that the museum is not closed for siesta!! :) Despite these small inconveniences, I enjoyed visiting the museum immensely. But if I hadn't been there before, hadn't read books about the work and life of Dali and Gala, I certainly wouldn't have had enough time to visit. And who are the main visitors of the museum out of season?? Groups of Spanish schoolchildren! They went on organized excursions in an endless stream.
An unforgettable place. It is very colorful, interesting, and beautiful. Each exhibit hides some kind of visual effect, a part of the picture, an impression.
25 years have passed, but in my memory it's like yesterday.....
The Salvador Dali Museum is simply amazing, we were delighted, it's great to see the masterpieces with your own eyes, those crazy red lips, I sat on this sofa, Great
I can't describe it in words!
Parking is no problem.
A Great Master lived here!
The joker! Revolutionary!
["Not only the theater-museum, but also the burial place of Salvador Dali himself.
The grave is located at the end of a U-shaped black hall with gold products behind a marble slab on the wall.
Judging by the layout of the basement rooms, the grave overlooks the back wall of the women's toilet, as Dali bequeathed.
I'm sorry for such a detail, but it may be useful in finding either one or the other)"].
We have already visited it 3 times. I recommend buying tickets in advance through the museum's website. The visit began at 17.00, when the group tourists had already left, which allowed them to fully enjoy themselves without the crowd.
There are a lot of interesting things. But it is necessary to visit with a guide.
A good souvenir shop.
The flows of visitors are competently separated.
Recording by time. They share the streams of visitors. A lot of information about the life and work of Dali. There are many works and installations. There is a cafe with democratic prices nearby in the courtyard. There is an additional jewelry exhibition in the building.
Parking is a problem because in the city center, you have to look, there are a lot of small parking lots in nearby houses.
It's a very atmospheric place. The Maestro himself lived here. Many of his works have been preserved. There is a good souvenir shop. There is a themed restaurant nearby. I recommend it to all art lovers
I came to this place for the third time, although I am not a fan of modern art, but this is something special. No words can describe what you feel in the walls of this museum. You need to feel it, you will not remain indifferent, be sure to visit. We arrived an hour and a half before closing, there were almost no visitors, no one interfered, of course, there was little time, but you are in an almost empty museum...
The museum is very good. The magnificent works of S. Dali are presented. Interesting compositions, but it is advisable to visit the museum with a guide, although this is allowed only in a few halls, which is very bad.
I liked the museum, although I am not a fan of this artist.
I am very impressed with the Salvador Dali Museum. It is necessary to go both to the museum itself and to the museum of jewelry from Dali. Words cannot describe it, we need to get there. And certainly no one will be left without impressions. I recommend it!

The museum is love. inspiration. I was IMPRESSED by the Dali MUSEUM of Jewelry Art in the same place. Thank you.
Gentlemen!!! I recommend visiting this masterpiece of modern art to everyone without exception! It's so cool, so mesmerizing, that then you can collapse from an oak tree! I've just been a fan of Dali since I was young, but as I've been there, so in general! Space!!!
Interesting, colorful, unusual! And both outside and inside. It is better to visit the museum accompanied by a guide who introduces in detail the biography and work of S. Dali. The contents of many expositions are so unusual for our perception that you begin to understand them only after the guide's comment. At every turn, another masterpiece awaits you-a surprise. It is worth visiting it, as well as the cozy and beautiful town of Figueres, where this interesting place is located.

It's very cool that every sculpture, every piece of jewelry, every painting, the building itself is all WOW
Not only the theater-museum, but also the burial place of Salvador Dali himself. The grave is located at the end of a U-shaped black hall with gold products behind a marble slab on the wall. Judging by the layout of the basement rooms, the grave overlooks the back wall of the women's toilet, as Dali bequeathed. I'm sorry for such detail, but it may be useful in finding either one or the other). Inside the black Cadillac, standing directly under the center of the dome, you can look through the passenger window of the front passenger. There are a lot of paintings, but there are sculptures, furniture, personal belongings of the artist. What I read in The Diary of a Genius is completely combined with what I saw. There is no dissonance. If you arrived on your own, then take a guide in Russian at the entrance. Don't forget to visit the jewelry room. He has a separate entrance on the corner of the building outside in the alley. The gift shop is not cheap. We had enough money for an eraser and a simple pencil for our daughter).
An interesting place, even if you are not a fan of S. Dali's work, visiting this museum will be a very interesting and memorable event in your life. I recommend it if possible.
The Salvador Dali Theater Museum in Figueres is one of the most famous museums dedicated entirely to the life and work of the famous artist Salvador Dali. The museum is considered to be the last great work of Salvador Dali: everything in it was conceived and designed by the artist himself."Surrealism is me!" - that's what Salvador Dali said about himself. His paintings are unforgettable, beautiful, stunning, unreal and full of dreams. We've been there twice, incredibly exciting! I recommend you to visit, even if you are not a fan of the artist's work.
The Museum of Surrealism. Accompanied by a good guide, it is a useful place for general development, despite the fact that the main array of Salvador Dali's masterpieces, known all over the world, is not represented by funds, they were sold out during the artist's lifetime. Subjectively, surrealism may not be liked or liked; objectively, the museum is perfectly planned and equipped with a large number of explanatory materials in English in case you come without a guide.

We were in 2014. It's a very interesting place. They gave it to me...
Even if you don't like Dali, it's worth visiting this museum. It's a very funny place, it's really a theater and the exposition looks like a performance.
Do not forget, after leaving the main exposition, walking along the wall of the museum, to go to the exhibition of jewelry invented by Dali.
The theater is amazing, it is the theater. It's a pity that we didn't take enough time to visit him. It was possible and necessary to stay there longer. There is no audio guide. We bought the book for 6 euros and generally received information about the halls and individual works.
