Strange Buildings - Part III: Torre Galatea - Figueres, Spain

The first thing you notice are the giant egg sculptures along the roofline.

Then it hits you that the Salvador Dali Theater Museum in Figueras, Spain, is no ordinary building.

The museum’s tower, Torre Galatea, was named for the surrealist artist’s deceased wife, and Dali himself lived there until his death in 1989.

Interestingly, the museum sits next to the parish church where Dali was baptized in 1904; he is buried in an unmarked crypt in the museum’s main exhibition hall.
