Figueres

A while ago, we went to Figueres, which is a small city in Spain. Figueres is mostly known for being the birthplace of Salvador Dali and the place where his Theater-Museum is. The Theater-Museum is definitely a striking building, when you first look at it. There are strange sculptures on the side of the building and eggs lining the top. Inside, there is a Cadillac that is fixed so that it rains on the inside. The museum is very definitive, with everything from sketches to sculptures to paintings. It also contains some of the paintings that he owned and some exhibitions of different artists that were influenced by him. A little known fact about Dali is that he designed jewelry. The best piece is a heart that, possibly because of the light, looks as if it is beating. Its pretty weird. The picture is brooch that he designed.
