Step by Step
With this reservation, your guide will give you a digital ticket and place you in front of the museum's reddish façade, dotted with gold leaf and crowned with giant eggs. In just one hour, you'll wander through rooms filled with melted clocks, illusory floors and surreal jewellery, understanding how the burnt-down former municipal theatre was transformed into a permanent tribute to its most famous citizen.
The itinerary begins with an introduction to the building itself: how Dalí designed it for each visitor to "live a dream".Once inside, your guide deciphers hidden symbols - ants, open drawers, elephants with insect legs - and explains the influence of science, psychoanalysis and the Civil War on his work. The climax comes under the great geodesic dome, where Dalí's own tomb rests under a glass sky reflecting colossal canvases.
To close, you will visit the exhibition of Dalí's Jewels, a treasure trove of gold, platinum and precious stones that pulsates with ingenious mechanisms and reinforces the idea that the artist conceived of his pieces as "living objects". On your way out, your guide will offer recommendations for modernist bars and souvenir shops where you can find authentic lithographs.
