The Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation is the official entity responsible for preserving and promoting the work of Salvador Dalí. It oversees the Dalí Theatre and Museum in Figueres, which is the artist's largest and most comprehensive collection, housed in a former municipal theatre that Dalí himself transformed into a surrealist masterpiece. Visitors can explore a vast array of Dalí's works, from paintings and sculptures to jewelry and optical illusions, all within a building that is itself a work of art. The museum offers a deep dive into Dalí's creative genius, with highlights including the Mae West Room and the famous Rainy Taxi. The foundation also manages other Dalí sites in the region, such as the Dalí House in Portlligat and the Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol, providing a complete picture of the artist's life and work.
