Museums

dalibarcelonaIn Barcelona there is no Dali museum. The closest one is situated in Figueres which is 140 km northwards from Barcelona, close to the French border. 

Even if Salvador Dali spent some years in Barcelona, he always preferred his hometown Figueres which explains the fact that there is a big museum to honour this Catalan artist. 

Anyhow you can find a permanant exhibition in Barcelona with some of his most important works. This exposition takes place in the "Real Círculo Artístico" building in the Gothic district.

Gaudí's dead

Not much people know how Gaudí died. From what it known he was hit by a tram in front of Sagrada Familia when he crossed the street aiming to go to the construction side of his masterpiece.

He lay in the hospital "Hospital de la Santa Creu", but people didn't recognise the famous artist because of his neglected appereance.

Only three days later, a friend of him found him in this hospital and asked for a private room for him. The same day, 10 July 1926 he died. 

He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família.
