Excursion to the Dali Theatre-Museum and the city of Girona
Description:
I thank fate for two things: for being Spanish and for being Salvador Dali.
Spain without Dali, as well as Dali without Spain, does not exist. The surrealistic unique world of the brilliant artist is like a veil, mysteriously throwing a mystical fog on the culture of Catalonia. The tour "Theatre-Museum of Dali and Girona" will give you a unique opportunity to throw this veil from the face of Catalonia and learn what is the secret of creativity of one of its greatest creations - Salvador Dali.
We will start our tour with a visit to the Dali Theatre-Museum. It is interesting not only inside, but also outside. The Theatre-Museum is crowned with the likeness of a crown of mannequins: one with his hands raised up, the other with a loaf of bread on his head, the third with a crutch. Particular attention should be paid to the figure of the diver, symbolizing the immersion in the depths of the subconscious, which awaits a visitor to the museum. Particular attention should be paid to the egg. The roof of the Theatre-Museum is decorated with white, huge eggs, because for Dali it symbolizes birth, and scrambled eggs are associated with fetal memories. “Beauty will either be edible, or it will not be at all.” S. Dali.
At the Theatre Museum we will see the Treasure Hall. This hall, so-called by Salvador Dali himself, is covered with red velvet, like a jewelry box. It contains the most important exhibits of the Theatre-Museum and, at the same time, the works of the artist, most clearly expressing the spirit of his work. You will see pictures: “Basket with bread”, “Atomic Leda”, “Ghost of sexual attractiveness”.
And after revealing the secrets of the great artist, you will go to the city of romantics Girona, where you will walk along the road of Augustus, preserved from the time of the Roman Empire, see the sculpture of the XVII century.
Indelible impressions of the tour Theatre-Museum of Dali and the city of Girona will remain for life!
