DESCRIPTION:

Animals are key figures in Dalí’s work: cats, dogs, flies, ants, birds, fish, and fantastic creatures, each with its own symbolism.

This itinerary introduces students to Dalí and Surrealism through animals—real or imaginary—found in the museum and his artworks.

Fascinated by eggs, Dalí turned them into symbols, like those that crown Torre Galatea in Figueres. The hard shell hides secrets, fears, treasures… and animals! During the visit, parts of animals will emerge from a magical egg for students to combine and create a new surreal creature.

CONTENTS:

Discovery of Salvador Dalí’s pictorial work, with special focus on the portraits he created.

Introduction to photographic techniques and the process of creating a portrait.

Stimulation of creativity through the creation of their own portrait and the exploration of emotions through the image.

FINAL ACTIVITY:

At the end of the visit, we will test our creativity! Using magnetic boards, we will combine parts of animals to bring to life new surreal creatures and give them names.

REMARKS:

It’s not a workshop. In case of bad weather, the activity cannot be carried out.

If the group arrives late to the visit, the final activity may be canceled.

Activity suggested for students in Elementary School (ages 6–9).

DESCRIPTION:

The Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres was a special place for Salvador Dalí. There, he gathered his treasures: melting clocks, drawers, red lips, canes, flies, bread, eggs, and, above all, his muse, Gala. He created the “Treasure Room,” lined with red velvet like a jewelry box.

This itinerary introduces students to Dalí and Surrealism through his most iconic symbols. The drawers, often present in his works, hide dreams, fears, and secrets. During the visit, a magical hat will reveal objects related to Dalí’s treasures, becoming a surreal and fun element!

CONTENTS:

Introduction to the figure of Salvador Dalí and Surrealism.

Identification of recurring elements in Dalí’s work.

Active observation and exploration of the rooms in the Dalí Theatre-Museum.

Creative expression through participation in the treasure hunt activity.

FINAL ACTIVITY:

After the visit, the children wear a headband with a drawer that we provide for the activity, choose a symbolic object, and take a photo to keep as a memory of the experience.

REMARKS:

This is not a workshop. In case of bad weather, the activity cannot be carried out.

If the group arrives late to the visit, the final activity may be canceled.

Activity recommended for children in early childhood education (ages 3-5).
