The Dali space has just reopened after several months of work. The Museum's collection focuses particularly on sculpture, the less well-known side of Dali's work, and also includes engravings and lithographs. 

Salvador Dali was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueras. He was given the same first name as his brother who died a few months before his birth. His authoritarian father, barely tolerates that his son is fond of art. His parents took him to his brother's grave at the age of 5, telling him that he was the reincarnation of his brother. He lost his mother at the age of 16 and his father married the sister of the deceased, to continue the register of assimilation of the individual within the family.
His search for "concentric eccentricity", as he called it, only aims to push the singularity of his person ever further. He succeeds in this exercise with talent and not without humor.
At the end of his studies, on the advice of Joan Miró, Salvador Dali goes to Paris for the first time in 1927. He meets Pablo Picasso whom he admires as much as he perceives him as a rival. Dali finds his own style from 1929, when he becomes full surrealist and invents the paranoid-critical method. He stays in Paris again from 1930 to 1932 and frequents surrealist artists such as André Breton, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, René Magritte and meets his future wife, Gala, who lived in Montmartre, rue Becquerel with Paul Eluard.
When a journalist asks him the question, "Are you living in an era where you can still make a scandal?" He replies, "It is possible to strike in an effective way on the imagination of crowds with new means of cretinisation like television, radio, press."
