AWE. Shock. Chills. Amazement. Tears. Inspiration. Joy…read more All the things I felt while getting to see the life work of the person that has impacted my life in so many ways. Built in his hometown and on the ruins of an old municipal theatre, where his first public exhibition took place as a child. It's now the world's largest collection of his work with over 1500 pieces. Salvador Dalí is a workforce. His brain was magic and I'm so happy he took us to his incredible world of fantasies and surrealism. Getting to see his greatest and last work of all time and being able to sit right on the place where his body rests as you admire the room, ceilings, walls, sounds and work of the greatest surrealist of all time, is something I will never forget. An absolute experience of a lifetime. Heart thumps, goosebumps, knees weak arms are heavy, mom's spaghetti type of experience. He created the world's largest surrealist object and got buried right in the glass dome he designed as his "final surrealistic act". He literally became a part of his greatest work of art. It's an honor to know his work and to be able to get to visit a place like this is a huge privilege I will never forget. It's not just a gallery but a surreal playground.

This is chronologically the third stop you should take on the Dali triangle tour but I found time wise that it was best to start here in Pubol, travel to Port Lligat for Dali's home, and finish with the museum in Figueres. All three can be done in one day with careful planning.

The Salvador…read moreDalí House-Museum is not a place for wandering at one's own pace; instead, it unfolds as a timed, guided tour, led from beginning to end through Dalí's former home. What the visit offers is intimacy rather than scale. Guests move through preserved rooms filled with original décor and select works, gaining insight into what inspired Dalí's creative vision and how that vision quite literally reshaped his living space. The gradual expansion of the home over the years, stitched together room by room as his life and success evolved, is itself part of the narrative, and witnessing that progression is quietly compelling. There are, as one might expect, a number of idiosyncratic details--architectural quirks, unexpected layouts, and surreal touches that blur the line between residence and installation. These moments reinforce the sense that this was not merely a place Dalí lived, but a space he actively composed. That said, the museum's appeal is proportional to one's enthusiasm for Dalí himself. It is somewhat remote and intentionally limited in scope. While I enjoyed the experience, it lacks the sheer volume and breadth of artwork found at the Dalí Theatre-Museum. If forced to prioritize one over the other, the choice is clear: the theater museum delivers a far more comprehensive artistic immersion. Ultimately, this visit is about preference. For those drawn to context, biography, and atmosphere, the house museum offers meaningful insight. For those seeking an expansive survey of Dalí's work, the theater museum will be far more rewarding. Either way, you can't truly go wrong, it simply depends on how you prefer to engage with the artist.

I bought two tickets just in case I was late after I showed her my other ticket that I was on time and they still didn't let me go inside. The staff was very rude and did not have compassion towards humanity. I am also handicapped and cannot walk fast and they did not care. I am very disappointed with the staff. I tried to buy another ticket for the next day, but the entire month was booked already. Shame on these people.

The museum itself contains rather formal displays of the history of the area from prehistoric times onwards, but the Romanesque architecture of the church, and of the octagonal bell-tower and the cloister, with columns and pillars topped with capitals decorated with plants and scenes from the Gospels, in particular, are a delight: in fact, they are regarded as among the best examples of Romanesque architecture in Catalonia. The church also has a delightful setting, with squares and gardens on three sides. Adjacent to the church, across the road at the west front, is the small but attractive Romanesque funerary chapel of Sant Nicolai, with a classic trefoil-plan apse. It was built at the same time as Sant Pere, and was originally part of the same complex.

We stumbled upon this museum after arriving to Figueres for a day trip with the intention of visiting the Dalí museum. Had a couple extra hours before our timed ticket to the Dalí Museum so wandered around town. As we walked past the entrance to this museum, the toys intrigued us so we decided to check it out. It's a simple two story building with rooms laid out by historical period and subdivided into display sections by category of toy. You start from the top and wind your way down back towards the entryway. There must be tens of thousands of different toys, so intricate and detailed. Everything from playing cards, dolls, house-keeping sets, magic, animation, robots, stuffed animals, action figures... It's a joy to take it all in, though I must say probably more enjoyable for adults since there's not many interactive displays considering the aim seems to be mostly preservation and education. Also more enjoyable if you like admiring the details. I cut half a star aren't many display signs in English or other languages, but my friends and I really liked taking our time and simply appreciating the variety and walking down memory lane as these toys stoked our inner-5-year-old's imagination.
