About
Quick facts: A surreal fusion of a museum and a stage, it's the largest surrealistic object in the world, and hosts Salvador Dalí's tomb right under the stage floor. Over 1,500 works of art fill the space, transforming the entire building into a living dreamscape.
Highlights: The museum's courtyard features a giant geodesic dome made of glass eggs, reflecting light in a dazzling display that changes with the sun. A quirky detail: the interior includes a Mae West room where furniture cleverly forms her face when viewed from a specific angle.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as exploring involves walking and standing on uneven surfaces.
- Visit the Mae West room at a specific spot where the furniture’s arrangement creates her iconic face.
- Photography is allowed but avoid flash to protect the artwork.
- Avoid weekends and holidays for a more peaceful visit.
