By the end of this guide, you will know whether Dalí admira Gaudí is worth fitting into a Figueres visit, what kind of material it shows, and how to plan around a summer timetable in a city where many services slow down in August. It is aimed at local residents, Dalí followers, and visitors already heading to Alt Empordà.
Figueres is the locality to note first. The exhibition opens on Friday 3 July at 7pm at the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya delegation in the city centre, and runs until Thursday 10 September. The official listings from the Ajuntament de Figueres and the COAC delegation in Figueres confirm the dates and venue.
The show traces Salvador Dalí’s public admiration for Antoni Gaudí through photographs, posters, documents and objects. It was produced by Amics dels Museus Dalí and curated by journalist and writer Josep Playà. The organisers say it is linked to Any Gaudí 2026, which places the exhibition in a wider programme around Gaudí’s legacy.
What this means for your visit
| If you are... | This exhibition is useful because... |
|---|---|
| Already in Figueres for the Teatre-Museu Dalí | It adds a second Dalí-linked stop without leaving the city centre. |
| Planning a day trip in summer | It gives you a culture option that fits a short visit, rather than a full-day museum schedule. |
| Travelling in August | You should check opening details before setting off, because summer timetables in Catalonia can change and some local services run reduced hours. |
That last point matters in practice. In Catalonia, August often brings shorter opening hours, slower admin responses and quieter streets outside the main tourist zones, so a quick check of the municipal agenda before travelling is sensible. If you are combining the exhibition with other plans, the city’s official agenda is the safest place to confirm any last-minute changes.
Quick takeaways
- Best for: readers interested in Dalí, Gaudí, and Catalan cultural history.
- Good fit if: you want a short, central stop in Figueres rather than a large museum visit.
- Check before you go: the official Figueres agenda and COAC listing for any schedule updates.
- Worth knowing: the exhibition is not just about architecture, but about how Dalí helped frame Gaudí as a modern creative figure.
Figueres is closely associated with Dalí through the Teatre-Museu Dalí, so this exhibition sits naturally within the city’s cultural map. For readers following events across the region, it is another example of how Catalonia’s summer programme is often built around compact, local venues rather than only major institutions.
