Salvador Dali is considered as the greatest artist of the surrealist art movement and one of the greatest masters of art of the twentieth century. Dali's passion for grand metaphysical, religious and scientific themes underlied this inspiration. He loved to probe the irrational and the subconscious.
Dali was not only a Painter but an Artist.
We will visit the fantastic Dalí Theatre Museum of Figueres which contains a broad spectrum of works covering the artistic career of Salvador Dalí (1904 – 1989), from his early artistic experiences and his creations within the sphere of surrealism through to works dating from the last years of his life.
