The Dalí Theatre-Museum, opened in 1974, was built on the remains of the ancient Theatre of Figueres, and contains a wide range of works that describe the artistic trajectory of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), from his early artistic experiences and creations within surrealism, to the works he produced in the last years of his life.

The most outstanding works exhibited here are Port Alguer (1924), the Spectre of Sex Appeal (1932), Soft Self-Portrait With Fried Bacon (1941), Poetry of America – Cosmic Athletes (1943), Galerina (1994-45), The Bread Basket (1945), Atomic Leda (1949) and Galatea Of The Spheres (1952).

One particular highlight in the Dalí Theatre-Museum is the set of works made by the artist expressly for the Theatre-Museum, such as the Mae West room, the Palace of the Wind, the Monument to Francesc Pujols and Rainy Cadillac. The Dalí Theatre-Museum should be seen as a whole, as Salvador Dalí’s great work, as it was conceived and designed by the artist to offer the visitor a true experience of entering into the artist’s unique and captivating world.
