The Salvador Dalí Museum-House in Portlligat, an essential visiting place to get to know the painter's universe, was opened to the public in 1997. The museum-house is located in Portlligat bay, the north of Cadaqués, the village in which Dalí stayed for lengthy periods during his childhood and youth, surrounded by the landscape and bathed in the light which he always showed in his paintings.

The house is made up of a cluster of fishermen's huts, purchased in various phases, which Gala and Dalí structured in the form of a labyrinth and decorated over the course of forty years, from 1930 through to the 1970s. In the house, visitors can see the painter's workshop, the library, the bedrooms in which they lived their private life, and the garden zone and swimming pool.
