Salvador Dali Museums in Figueres and Portlligat

On February 13., two days before we flew back to Finland, we drove via Girona to Figueres and Portlligat to visit two Dali museums.The Teatre-Museu Dali was built on ruins of a 19th century theater, destroyed during Spanish civil war. This impressive museum was designed by Salvador Dali himself in 1940's. The collection here in his birth place was very large and amazing, covering his art from 30's to 70's. Of course the whole building is very strange, a real Dali like production. On the way to Portlligat, a fishing village near Caceres, we crossed over 600 meters high mountains with extraordinary views. This museum was his home and atelier from 1930 to 1982, until Galas death, his wife. It was just in that condition how it was, when Dali left the house. There were no paintings but a lot of photos of celebrities, movie stars, politicians, musicians etc., who did visit them. It gave a very good impression how the couple did live in this tiny fisherman's village a few meters from the sea a peaceful life.
