The museum is very big, with many pictures... He is buried in the museum that he made, his life was to make many pictures of his wife. He has done many painting. Also I pleased to go because I had been there and there are very funny things.

Picture that you like:

The picture I liked most was the Persistence of Memory. Because it is very nice, on the picture the bay of Port Lligat appears dawn. The work represents a dream scape, in the image out, there are clocks, a table, a branch, shirt, a rock... It is beautiful. Above the clocks there re ants.

Dalí was an artist. His name was Salvador Dalí. He was a subrealist painter and he painted a lot of pictures thinking in his wife Gala.He was born in Figueras in 1904 and he died in 1989. He is very famous and when the world war started, he travelled to U.S.A with his wife Gala. He loved Cadaques and in all his pictures  there is   Cadaques' landscapes.

Dalí has a lot of museums but the most famouns is in Figuera. In the museum's roof there are eggs because he liked a lot the eggs. In the museum there are sculptures and pictures that are very beautiful and there are pictures that play with your mind, it's incredible and beautiful. It is a really wonderful museum.

For me his best picture is " The Persistence of Memory". It's a picture with Cadaques' landscapes and soft watches, it's a very beautiful picture and one of the best of  Salvador Dalí and itis in the museum of Modern Art in New York and there is a copy in Figueras' museum.

Salvador Dalí was an important artist, he also made some sculptures. He liked to paint to his muse Gala very much. His drawings are surrealistic, painting everything was going through his head.

The picture that I liked the most was: portrait of Mae West, because it was not a picture painted, they're different sculptures, which if you look at from one paint, it looks like a painting. It was very cool!

In the museum there are many different rooms, I remember that the treasure room has all the Dalí's pictures, which inside has jewels. Another room in the Wind that has a painting on the ceiling deoripting Dalí and Gala showing open and empty drawers that come out from his body.

My opinion of museum is that I really liked because I had never impressed me in and some paintings and sculptures when the car went out Dalí water inside.

Salvador Dalí was a very famous Spanish artist. He was born on 11^th of May of 1904 and he died on 23^rd of January of 1989 and he was from Figueres, Spain.

He studied at an academy in Madrid, where he met a Spanish poet, Federico García Lorca, and a film director, Luis Buñuel.

Few years later, he travelled to París where he met a very famous Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, that influenced him.

Later, in Cadaqués, he met his future wife, Gala.

He also is very famous in the USA because he lived there during the Civil War and he has a lot of his paints there.

His paints are surreal. In his paints he always drew Cadaqués as the landscape, because he went many times there. All his paints have a meaning, even if they don't make sense. He also has a lot of paints of his wife Gala because she was his muse. He loved her so much that he even put her name in his signature.

One of his most famous paints is “The persistence of the memory”, that is in a New York's museum.

Dalí has a museum in Figueres. In the beginning it was a theater, but it was burned during the civil war. Now it is a museum and there is only the curtain and the seats room of the theater and inside the museum Dalí is buried.

I like the museum very much because it was very original and the paintings are very colourful. Also, I like that all the paintings and decoration of the museum have a special meaning.

My favourite room of the museum was Mae West's room. There are objects in the room that if you look at them with perspective, you can see Mae West's face.
