Mae West room, the tomb of Dalí, a copy of Dalí's most famous work -
The Persistance of memory (you will recognise it when you see it).
Allow a good two to three hours to see everything. It is child-friendly.
Even if you're unwilling to pay the high entrance fee you can get some appreciation of Dalí's eccentricity by looking at the 'eggs' on the outside of the museum.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25226 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25225 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25225 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25224 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25224 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25219 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25219 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25218 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25218 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25211 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25211 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25209 mikvah (ritual bath).
