Dali day…

Standard

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.

Dali Theatre museum, Figueres

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.
