On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum, we present a short chronology with the key moments of the construction of this unique building, an icon of Dal\u00ed\u2019s art and of the city of Figueres. The aim is at once to highlight Dal\u00ed\u2019s constant involvement in the decision-making and the construction process of his museum and to present the invaluable documentary testimony of his friend and collaborator, the photographer Melit\u00f3 Casals (Meli).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
