When you are staying in SPAIN HOLIDAY RENTALS Figueres is not far away from Barcelona, the birth place around the world famous Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali (1904-1989). It is also home of the Dali Museum: a structure produced and produced by Dali himself according to Surrealist concepts. This is an impressive undertaking and offers visitors a unique and interactive experience enabling them not just view Dali's art but furthermore experience a part of his bizarre world.
At the beginning of 1960s, Dali was approached by the Mayor of the town with the idea of creating a number of his works in the town. Dali made a decision to create his museum to support his art inside the derelict Figueres Municipal Theatre which was damaged by fire during the Civil War. Dali thought it was a perfect spot for 3 reasons: it was opposite the chapel where he was baptised, it was the venue for his first exhibition and also because he felt that his theatrical work and grandiose lifestyle was appropriate for the spirit in the building.
The old museum wasn't restored to its former glory but was transformed entirely. The Spanish architect Emilio Perez Pinero laboured with Dali's vision and created a geodesic dome that's transparent. The building's skeleton can be clearly seen.
The art displayed inside includes work in many mediums: for instance painting, drawing, sculpture, film and photography, all featuring the astounding scope of Dali's talent. Numerous of Dali's most well-known works can be seen there, including Soft Self-Portrait with Fried Sausage, Galarina and Galatea in the Spheres. Several works were created specifically for exhibiting within the museum, like the famous Mae West Room with a picture of Mae West's eyes hung just like a portrait, over a sizable red-coloured lip created couch beneath it. Dali also thought to display the task of other artists he respected for example El Greco, Urgell, Duchamp, Valles and many more.
