Other Information of Interest

The Dalí Theatre-Museum is one of the Spanish State’s most frequently visited museums. So that you can discover it under the best conditions and at the same time enjoy the guided visit, we would recommend that you visit it between November and February, thereby avoiding the crowds which go there over the rest of the year.

The visit we are offering has a specific duration (between one hour for the youngest children and two hours for older students) and covers a route very carefully chosen to suit the pupils’ ages and the content we aim to convey to them. Please bear in mind that we do not aim to show them ALL the works nor ALL the rooms of the Museum in a single visit.

The guided visit is approached as a visit for discovering Salvador Dalí and his museums. If you are planning to prepare the visit in advance, we would recommend that you consult our website, where you will find plenty of information (biography, works, museums, etc.). You can also consult the publications we list at the end of this page. You should bear in mind, however, that these are “discovery” visits and, as such, we would recommend that you reserve a substantial amount of the work for after the visit.
