This museum is superb could only be Dali inspired. What vision this man had to realise that a burned down derelict theatre space would make a wonderful showcase for his work. Is crowded and necessary to queue a long time for a ticket but worth the wait.

There are many masterpieces and art objects to see. It' s really interesting and creative exposition there. I can also recommend the Dali Jewellery Museum which is near and you will get free entrance with the Dali Museum ticket. I would not recommend this museum to families with children, because it's really crowded and there' s a long queue outside... More

This museum was outstanding. One of our favourite things to do in Catalonia. Our guide book said it would take an hour to go through but I think it needs at least 2-3 hours especially if you are going to see the jewels as well. I would highly recommend a guided tour or a good guide book to really understand... More

Loved it all he was a true art genius. Just a pity they didn`t have some of his most famous paintings or copies. A must visit if near the area. Even if you do not understand, appreciate some of his work he was way ahead for tricking the eye into seeing images etc.

Plan your visit carefully to the dali museum in Figueres. We arrived on a Saturday, and had to wait in line for tickets for almost an hour. The museum is very busy on the weekends, and the parking is crazy. Looking for parking, then waiting in line for tickets left us little time to see the museum. It closed at... More

The museum itself is great and certainly art in itself. However: While the website stated that the museum is open until 18:00, the staff through out all people at 17:45. When we stated that we still have 15 minutes left, as the cashier has told us, the staff person said in very rude Spanish that we then should go outside... More

I adore this Museum. I've now been twice - and I would go again. It's over the top, highly imaginative, extremely entertaining - and an absolutely must do if you are anywhere near the Costa Brava. I can't even start to recommend it enough. Any one piece of art would be worth the trip - and there are hundreds. Do... More

Remember this is "Theatro" Museo Dali. There's a lot of theatre involved. It's Dali...what else can one say?
