The Dali Theatre Museum is located in Figueres, Spain, the birthplace of Salvador Dali. The building was designed by Dali himself and, as such, is considered the largest surrealist object in the world. And it houses one of the largest collections of his work in the world making the day trip from Barcelona well worthwhile.

Train, bus or car will get you the 100km from Barcelona to Figueres to enjoy this magical city and its gallery. I wish that pictures could capture the feeling of this museum but, no. You’re going to have to go yourself for the full experience.
