The Salvador Dalí House-Museum was a small fisherman's house in Portlligat (province of Gerona, Catalonia, Spain), where Salvador Dalí lived and worked regularly from 1930 until the death of his wife Gala in 1982, when he decided to settle in the Castle of Púbol.

The house has a labyrinthine structure. Starting from a point of origin El Receidor del Oso, decomposes and twists into a succession of spaces chained by narrow corridors, unevenness and dead ends.

All the rooms have openings, of different shapes and proportions, which refer to a constant in Dalí's work: the bay of Portlligat.

The aesthetics of the house are dominated by the variegation of different elements, the most extreme surrealism and a kitsch air.

The house is divided into three areas: where the most intimate part of the Dalí lives took place, the workshop, and the outdoor spaces.

The first of the rooms, the Hall of the Bear, consists of a bear that guards it, a gift from Edward James to the couple. The beast holds a lamp, but also serves as an umbrella stand, letter holder, and arquebusier. Behind the bear, there is a stuffed owl. These beasts demonstrate the artist's taste for taxidermy. "Here, in this house, everything is stuffed", explained the painter Dalí.

One of the most important rooms in the house is the workshop, where the artist spent long hours since he took his work with an inordinate seriousness.

Next to the workshop is The Model Room with tools and optical devices. In this room, a small plaster bust that represents the Emperor Nero stands out. This work served as inspiration for the creation of the painting Dematerialization of Nero's nose (1947) made when Dalí was interested in nuclear fusion.

In the house, like Salvador Dalí, his wife also had a private space called La Sala Oval, where she read and received distinguished visitors. The room was built in 1961, it is spherical and has reverberating acoustics.

On the outside, the patio stands out, which is accessed through a labyrinth that hides a small summer dining room.

The back part of the patio includes the pool, built in 1967. It is possibly the most impressive area of the house due to its abundant and surreal decoration, of which a lip sofa, reproductions of Bibendum, swan-shaped fountains and posters of Pirelli tires.

Other elements that make up the whole of the house and symbolize the style of Salvador Dalí are the innumerable eggs, the heads, the dovecote of the gallows and the sculpture The Christ of the Rubble, made with the remains of a flood.
