Inaugurated in 1974, the Dalí Theatre-Museum was built upon the remains
of the former Figueres Municipal Theatre: a 19th century construction
which was destroyed at the end of the Spanish Civil War. On its ruins,
Dalí decided to create his museum.It contains the broadest range of
works spanning the artistic career of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), from
his earliest artistic experiences and his surrealist creations down to
the works of the last years of his life. The Dalí Theatre-Museum has to
be seen as a whole, as the great work of Salvador Dalí, for everything
in it was conceived and designed by the artist in order to offer
visitors a real experience of getting inside his captivating and unique
world. Since the death of Salvador Dalí, in 1989, one can also visit the
crypt with his grave, situated in the centre of the museum; a space
which was remodelled in 1997 in order to exhibit there a collection of
gold jewellery designed by the artist.
