Ordinarily I’m not a big fan of art and visiting art galleries. We always try to on our travels but I’m rarely left inspired – that’s not to say some of the artwork we have seen isn’t special but it just doesn’t work really well for Moe and I.
There is an exception though – Salvador Dali. A true genius and some of his work is just inspiring so a visit to the Dali Theatre Museum in Figueres was a must.
One of our favourite pieces is the head of Abraham Lincoln which close up features the naked body of a lady but at distance, is just Abraham Lincoln. How he painted such works I can’t comprehend.
We also visited the Dali museum at St Petersburg, Florida and for me, that was a better experience than the theatre museum. But maybe that’s because it was far more orderly, less crowded and everything was in English!
Still, a must visit.
