Dalí Theatre-Museum

About this place

This museum in Salvador Dalí's hometown brings the artist's world into a former theatre setting. Dalí is buried beneath the stage, linking the building directly to his life. Explore it as an experience of 20th-century cultural history shaped by the artist's theatrical imagination. The relationship between theatre and museum is particularly appropriate to an artist whose work often depended on staging, surprise and unexpected combinations. His burial beneath the stage adds a personal dimension to that setting. The visit connects the history of a local cultural building with the international reach of Surrealism.
