Dali is best known for his dreamlike paintings in which he showed people and objects transformed into fantastic images that were often set in deserted landscapes.

Upon entering the Museum you find yourself confronted with Dali's work which can be a real "mind-bender".

It's recommended you take a Guided Tour which informs you of the artist's work and what he was trying to convey.

Half the fun is comparing your perception with that of the artist!
