The Dali Theatre-Museum is the refurbished theatre of Dali's youth. It is located in his home town of Figueres in the Catalan region of Spain. Dali wrote that he wanted ..."people who come to see it will leave with the sensation of having had a theatrical dream."
The roof is adorned with his fascinating eggs, the facade with mounds of bread and the stage and his crypt is topped with a glass dome. Inside is housed the largest collection of Dali's work and most of it was from his own personal collection. It is a place that you can easily roam for hours and hours!!!
Included in this amazing place are some extraordinary installation pieces like the full size automobile inspired by his piece "Rainy Taxi" sculptures and his living room installation piece inspired by Mae West.
Dali-jewels is a permanent exhibition at the Theatre-Museum. Two floors house the 37 gold and semi - precious pieces of exquisite jewelry as well as many of Dali's drawings and studies of these pieces.
The whole Dali-Triangle was amazing. Lauren and I enjoyed so much seeing the rocks and coast line that inspired Dali .. The house where he worked and shared his life with Gala and finally the castle.. All amazing!! It did not stop there.. We also immensely enjoyed the town where almost everywhere you went or are you could see Dali's inspiration and incrediable wit!!
