Portlligat Museum-House
Encyclopedia
The Portlligat Museum-House was a small fisherman's hut, the place in which Salvador Dalí
usually lived and worked up since 1930 till 1982 when, upon the death of his wife Gala Dalí
, he took up residence at Púbol Castle.
The house has a labyrinthine structure which, from one point of departure, the Bear Lobby, spreads out and winds around in a succession of zones linked by narrow corridors, slight changes of level and blind passageways.
All the rooms have windows of different shapes and proportions framing the same landscape that is a constant point of reference in Dalí’s work: the Portlligat bay.
