The Rainy Taxi is one of Salvador Dalí's most famous installations, permanently displayed outside the Dalí Theatre and Museum in Figueres. It consists of a vintage Cadillac with a mannequin driver and passenger, and a rain effect that showers water inside the car. The installation is a quintessential example of Dalí's surrealist vision, blending everyday objects with unexpected elements. Visitors can view it from outside the museum, but it's also part of the museum's collection, so you'll see it up close when entering. The Rainy Taxi sets the tone for the whimsical and bizarre world inside the museum, making it a perfect photo opportunity and a must-see for art lovers.
