Salvador Dali House Museum, Portlligat, Catalonia, Spain

Olive garden, with art studio and egg sculpture, at the Salvador Dali House Museum in Portlligat, Cap de Creus, Cadaques, Catalonia, Spain. On the terracotta roof of the studio are glass panels, which enabled Dali to study feet and foreshortening. Salvador Dali, 1904-89, Spanish Surrealist painter, lived and worked here from 1930 to 1982, when his partner and muse Gala died. The building was originally several fisherman's cottages which the couple bought and developed, with windows overlooking the bay, a swimming pool and garden studio. The house became a museum in 1997, run by the Dali Foundation. Picture by Manuel Cohen
