From his early works to his masterpieces, the museum showcases the breadth and depth of Dalí's artistic vision. Prepare to be transported to a world of dreams, symbolism, and unparalleled creativity. The Dalí Museum was founded by A. Reynolds and Eleanor Morse, who began collecting Dalí's works in 1943.
