Advantages: Unusual museum,full of surprises Disadvantages: Possible crowds in season
One of the pleasures of independent travel is that sometimes you chance on something wonderful and unexpected. I?d been exploring the southern Pyrenees on the Spanish side, and decided to re-enter France near Portbou, but first I thought I?d have a look at a couple of towns I didn?t know. I was wandering around Figueres looking for somewhere to eat when suddenly I came across it. The Dalí Museum.
I recognised it from photographs, but nothing prepares you for the reality. From the outside the architecture is a bit prisonlike, but no prison ever had varnished loaves stuck all over it. I believe they are real bread. Along the edge of the roof at the front are giant eggs, and statues which look rather like the Oscar. I had a quick coffee and sandwich at a nearby restaurant, and then went in. This was in the autumn, and there were quite ...
Advantages: visually stunning, will keep you entertained for hours Disadvantages: none
Admittedly, I'd never even heard of this place when I was told we were going to visit it. I had already spent one afternoon trawling round some Picaso museum in Barcelona ( wouldn't have been so bad, but it seemed rather dark and dingey and full of his early work that didn't really interest me) and Dali wasn't really my cup of tea. So wasn't really looking forward to it to say the least.
Anyway, a 2 hour coach ride later and we arrived in Figueres along side one of the strangest, yet at the same time probably one of the most intriging buildings I have ever seen. From what I could see of it it was a dark slmon pink in colour and covered in what I can only describe as yellow blobs. At one end it has a tower and sitting on top of the tower, as well as the sightly lower flat roof of the rest of the building...... some pale yellow egg ...
Hello friends,
this is one of my favourite museums of all time!
I was visiting Spain last month and discover this hidden jewel.
Salvador Dali is always interesting. All i know about him is the melting clock and some weird style of paintings.
After visiting this museum, viola! He is so amazing!
Of all the museums, this one is the most surprising of all.
It leads the visitor to each scene without any boring moments.
The lip sofa installation is the most facinated of all. It is so big. The giant hair piece and the nose fire places, all add up to this dramatic scene. He made all the visitors lined up to view the piece from a len that shrinked all the objects onto the single lens. If one is careful, you will find surprises everywhere.
After visiting the museum, i think Dali is being over emphasis on the paintings. He was ...
