Museo del Ampurdán Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: I came to see the column of Cabestany from Sant Pere de Rodes, a jewel of Romanesque marble, a living history of our country. It still can't be .. The exhibition of photographs and oil paintings by Empordà artists is quite good. The facilities are model-like, just like the service. A 10
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: And it is here. For a welcome course. Very good figuera, well is past., this welcome course is very informative

Fantastic experience: The main exhibition was closed for redevelopment but there was a retrospective of the work of a local artist in the ground floor space. His name escapes me. He suffered from mental health problems and art must have been a release and comfort for him. His unusual work was at times disturbing but the questions he raised in his work are relevant to everybody. For example, he painted portraits which contained thoughts and images on the reverse, reflecting appearance and reality, and studies of individuals involved in mundane everyday tasks, which he compared to the myth of Sisyphus - a man condemned by the gods to roll a rock up a hill and let it roll down again, permanently. Unforgettable.

Positive experience: Limited exhibition of modern art by local artists (one floor only, other floors in work). Free entry! Liked the use of ox shoulder blade as a squash racket, and mini robot taking pictures of random scenes with dogs and cars.

Positive experience: Super
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The museum is still under construction and only a few rooms were open to visit. The admission was free and the staff welcomed us very kindly. The exhibition was by Adria Ciurana. I liked some of the pictures very much. I think as soon as the museum is finished we will visit it again.
Translated from Deutsch

Fantastic experience: I love all artwork everywhere. Here was no exception.

Positive experience: They have a Dalí painting on display and the floor is closed for renovation. The receptionists are very nice.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Free with the ticket to the Dalí museum, under restructuring. The important paintings cannot be seen.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Museum located in the center of Figueres next to the Rambla. It is divided into 4 floors, 3 where you can enjoy artworks and photographs and on floor -1 a lounge area. If you have visited the Dalí museum with the same ticket, you have free entry.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Since 1965 and by purchase from my father-in-law the decorator Domingo Serra Sin father of my dear wife Mari-Bel is a work that I contemplate every day the genius painter endowed to the houses reflected in the river of Girona with a beauty that I cannot describe...they fill me and satisfy my gaze ..much to my regret ..and after so many years ..I believe that despite how much I exposed it on Google as local Guides..I find myself forced to sell it, retired at 85 years old and my rent has been raised this January to 1,000 euros, I am forced to sell it, I wish it goes to the Ampurda museum if we reached an agreement which I hope is fulfilled because it has been with my family 4 children from Sitges.Platja d'Aro and finally Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Ampurdan Museum end...

Translated from Catalan

Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Comfortable 4-story museum. It combines periodic exhibitions with permanent displays. It has interesting works about the history of Figueres and painters from L'Empordà. Free entry if you present the ticket from the Dalí Museum. Inside there is air conditioning, so it is a good way to rest from the high temperatures of the summer period. There are benches to sit on.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I liked it a lot
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very interesting exhibitions that are complemented by the Escorxador square.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: More like an art gallery, this place was under renovation during my visit there, so the first and second floor were not opened. If you got the ticket of Museum de Dali, visiting here would be free.

Fantastic experience: I'm not really an art enthusiast, but some of the exhibited works seemed very beautiful to me. The gentleman at the reception was very kind. The admission was free with the visit to the Dalí museum (there had to be something good about going to the Dalí museum).
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Local museum that has a good collection and that some of the temporary exhibitions are very interesting. Unfortunately, it has never been too visited. Let's see if by opening the Birth House, the visitors increase.

Positive experience: It was reasonably priced, we visited, but there's really nothing to write home about.
Translated from Polish

Fantastic experience: The most affordable museum in the Empordà. Alternating historical and contemporary (art) themes beyond the brainless other money-making machines of Figueres museums. Always happy to return.
Translated from Deutsch

Positive experience: I liked it, taking advantage of the entrance to the Dalí museum, it came out free for me, I was surprised by so many paintings by local artists.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Good restaurant of Catalan specialists
Translated from French

Positive experience: Interesting museum. The section dedicated to Bulli and Ferran Adria is highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is very interesting, it has many curiosities
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: An excellent exhibition of a young artist. Great!!!!
Translated from Deutsch

Positive experience: It's a rather small museum, with only 3 floors. While we were there, there was 1 floor under maintenance. The entrance fee was only 4 euros at the time. We enjoyed walking around, but in about 30 minutes we were through the whole museum. We are not the kind of people that read all the descriptions though.

Positive experience: Visiting the museum is included in the ticket price to the S. Dali house. It is worth taking a look, inside there is quite an interesting collection of paintings and an exhibition dedicated to one of the best restaurants in the world.
Translated from Polish

Positive experience: Lack of comment in French
Translated from French

Positive experience: Always very I Teresa you if....... Do you speak Catalan!! As a foreigner you don't understand anything! Is it a museum for Catalans or for everyone?
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: No big artistic surprise, but a very good approach to Catalan and molecular cuisine! Enough to give ideas for a future restaurant!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Very good
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: We entered because it was included in the ticket for the Dalí museum, I didn't like it much... even reading the information, you understand little of what is displayed.

Fantastic experience: Very good and very interesting the temporary exhibition about the cuisine made and created in the Empordà.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Wonderful!!!
Translated from Russian

Positive experience: Showing a ticket of Dali Theatre-Museum, we are admitted free.

Positive experience: Once in Figueres and having seen the Dalí Museum, it's worth visiting this other museum. The Ampurdán museum offers you two exhibitions. One temporary and local (in my case about local cuisine: El Bulli, Duran, and Motel) and another permanent with sculptural and painting works from the 19th and 20th centuries that encompass romanticism, surrealism, etc. It's worth it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It's definitely worth visiting, I'm from Barcelona, to see the exhibition about the Dalí family.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: The Empordà Museum was created in 1946, although the current building was constructed and inaugurated in 1971. 'Art has no past or future. When a work of art fails to remain alive, then it deserves no consideration whatsoever.' With this principle in mind, we began our visit to the Empordà Museum with high expectations, located in a spectacular area of Catalonia. Taste or the ability to perceive beauty and judge it develops through education and teaching. Designed as a museum of archaeology, history, and art, it houses one of the most outstanding art collections in the region. It is an institution that dedicates special attention to contemporary artistic creation. It focuses on research, conservation, and dissemination of the rich cultural heritage both locally and regionally. The permanent exhibition of the Empordà Museum consists of collections of archaeology: Attic, Italic, and Iberian ceramics; notable samples of megalithic culture (pieces originating from the corridor tombs of La Albera). It has a magnificent representation of works from Antiquity (Iberian, Greek, and Roman pieces). It features sculptures from the Middle Ages; sculptures and paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries (Gargallo, Tapies, Sorolla, Nonell, Mira, Vuixart). The art of the EMPORDÀ is represented with extraordinary works by internationally recognized artists such as: Dalí, Santos, Torroella, Blanquet, and Vallès. It is a spectacular and beautiful museum; we thoroughly enjoyed this visit. Art is sensations that, one way or another, reach the viewer. Sensations of all kinds, simply aesthetic or symbolic, of attraction or rejection. Sensations that move us, impress us, or provoke a certain mood. It has been a unique emotional experience. Art, if enjoyed in good company, will move you in an exceptional, unique, and unrepeatable way: like a daydream. All these sensations require an intellectual process to turn into an emotion.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting museum of Dali's private collection, as well as various collections from different artists. It's a pity that the explanatory sheets of the works in Spanish have disappeared....... If they remained in English and French...
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting... I recommend a guided tour.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Very interesting the exhibition of the Dali family
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The visit enhances your knowledge about Dalí's family life, the role of his parents, his education, his sister...
Translated from French

Positive experience: Interesting museum for its Figueres customs and famous local characters. They don't forget the greats, but the lighting and atmosphere are horrible. I don't understand why they don't hire a decorator and fix that museum, which seems to only have eyes for the temporary exhibitions.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Local art, with a good influence of surrealism. Adds temporary exhibitions.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed seeing the exhibition about the Dalís in Figueres, a highly recommended place for those visiting Figueres.

Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Noteworthy exhibitions
Translated from Deutsch

Positive experience: It depends on the exhibition that is there. Very well located, but there is a lack of an ambitious exhibition program.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Little hidden treasure!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you come to the Dalí Theatre Museum, admission is free. I came to Figueres without a tour, and since I had time to spare, I went to check it out. They honored the free access for me, and if you don't go to the Dalí Museum, there is a price reduction if you meet the discount profile. It is located in the center of Figueres, it is a three-story museum, it has an elevator and benches (two) to rest during the visit, although you can walk through it in about 30 minutes (at a leisurely pace). The works are paintings, pieces, and manuscripts. It's a small museum, but anything educational and more free is very well received. The staff is very friendly, they kept my backpack for a lighter visit.
