Claim to Fame: Less like a museum than a drug-fed dream
This flamboyant tribute to the surrealist master sometimes draws more annual visitors than the venerable Prado. With fanciful and absurd exhibits like the famous Mae West Room and the Rainy Cadillac, a coin-operated installation built from one of Dalí's own cars, it's easy to see how the museum attracts both the serious art lover and the merely curious. Dalí designed the Theatre-Museum himself, spent his final years living in it and is buried in a crypt there.
