The Dalí Theatre-Museum is the largest surrealistic object in the world, replacing the town's former Municipal Theatre which was destroyed in the Spanish Civil War. Not only is the museum an artwork in itself, it's also home to many famous paintings by Dalí. The building holds the broadest range of the artist's works, including everything from his earliest pieces to his final paintings. Dalí also chose to include some pieces from his personal collection by other artists such as El Greco and Antoni Pitxot.
Dalí himself is now a part of the Teatre-Museu as well - his crypt and grave are located, quite fittingly, in the center of the museum.

Doing what: Salvador Dali Museum, Figueres and Cadaques Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona
We loved the Salvador Dali Museum, and what made it particulary special was our tour guide. He actually gave the tour in the museum and made it very interesting. He knows his stuff! Cadeques, Dali's birthplace was so beautiful. A perfect sunny day in January of the coast where we ate lunch with a fellow traveller overlooking the coast. Later our guide drove us round Port Lligat for photos. I highly recommend this tour!

A marvellous full-day tour, very well constructed and balanced. The guide was first-rate with his commentary inside the Dali museum.
