Visitor tips & guidelines

• Avoid crowd congestion at the Rainy Taxi display; view it from the adjacent Car-Naval exhibit for an unobstructed angle.
  
• Don't linger in the busy Fishmonger’s Hall mid-day; instead, explore this quieter gallery to see Dalí’s early evolutions.
  
• Lie back on the bench in the Palace of the Wind Room; this spot minimizes head obstructions and offers clear mural views.
  
• Access Dalí’s Bedroom quietly by navigating the upper-level staircase early; the intimate setting yields fewer distractions for reflection.
