    I have been there for a short time just 1 day, but maybe someday i will go back.... take at least 2 days to sabsorp it all!
    We went on a daytrip to Girona, Banoyes and the Dali museum. Its was organized by the travelagency and a femaleguide explained all in 4 languages. She was really good! We had an international group with Fins, Ukrainians, Germans, English, Italian, Spanish and Dutch people.
    All interested in the same thing that makes the contact very easy. The best of the trip was saved for last ,,the Dali mueseum. After a long trip we wanted to strech the legs first and have some drink at a restaurant on the square near the museum. Then we went inside my friend and me and i know i must have stood with my mouth open sometimes. I still feel the excitement looking at all the things Dali created, what a genius...
    The guide told us a lot about Dali's personnal life as well. I will write this all down later at my travelogues.

    Fondest Memory:
    Dali museu what more can i say....

    Its not allowed to take a huge bag or rucksaks inside the museum, neither can u u use a flashlight inside! If u do the camera will be confiscated..
    U can smoke, eat or drink in a special area.
    Its not allowed to touch anything, i think thats normal..do wear some walkingshoes because the building has 3 floors and u will be walking from room to room.

  • i love ithis museum, the building is a piece of art itself. On the site of Dali is some great info about life of Salvatore Dali and his wife Gala. She was a divorced woman with child and when he kept continuing seeing her, he was neglected by other painters since at that time it was a disgrease(i hope i spelled that right)..
    In the museumshop u can buy lots of souvenirs, i bought a keyring and my friend gave me a beautifull agenda full with pictures:-)

     re dali & his wife gala, apparently, he had to book an appointment to see her a month ahead, and when he eventually knocked at the door, most often she would have changed her mind and slam it in his face!
