The Dalí Theatre-Museum with kids: a short route and practical tips

A 75-minute route designed for kids

1. 1

   0:00 · Facade and square

   Spot the loaves and eggs

   Before going in, challenge the kids to count the loaves on the facade and the giant eggs.

2. 2

   0:10 · Central courtyard

   Rainy Taxi: does it rain inside?

   Drop in a coin and watch it rain inside the car. Ask why they think Dalí made it.

3. 3

   0:25 · Mae West Room

   The hidden face

   From the platform the furniture forms a face. Challenge: find the eyes, nose and mouth from far away and up close.

4. 4

   0:40 · Palace of the Wind

   Look to the sky

   Ask them to find the people floating on the ceiling and invent a story.

5. 5

   0:55 · Painting rooms

   Melting pictures

   Look at the crutches and soft shapes: a good moment to explain what Surrealism is.

6. 6

   1:10 · Crypt

   A quiet goodbye

   Close with a calm moment in the crypt; some kids prefer to skip it.
