The last highlight of my trip in Spain… Dali Museum. Dali is known for its eccentric art, and I was strongly recommended to visit the museum by Konstantinos when I first when to Athens and it was also the first time I heard about the concept of Surrealism. Located in Figueres and about 30 minutes by train from Girona, I had woken up much later than I had hoped for (perhaps it was because I was still trying to recover from my flu).
I quickly got ready and headed off to buy my train ticket, and by the time I reached Figueres, it was about 1.30pm. Upon leaving the train station, I followed the signs towards the Dali museum, and after about a 15 minutes walk, I reached the museum and paid for my admission.
I entered the entrance and followed the numbered rooms around the museum, and found that there were a lot of school kids there, however many of them seem to be rushing through the exhibits.
The walls of the museums were dotted with a lot of thought provoking sketches, and in some of the numbered rooms, there were also large life-size exhibits that needed to be looked at from various perspectives.

This is art I enjoy viewing… to a certain extent, it makes you wonder if the images or visual exhibits are reflections of life.
What you see is not often what it appears to be – look from a different angle, or through different lenses / mirrors / glass bottles, or take a few steps back, and you will see something different.

Is this what Surrealism is all about?
