The building was purchased by the Figueres City Council in 2020 specifically to transform it into an immersive cultural space.
The street, Carrer Monturiol, is named after Narcís Monturiol, the inventor of the first combustion-engine submarine, who was also born in Figueres.
Salvador Dalí's father worked as a notary in an office located on the ground floor of this building during Dalí's infancy.
The project design uses projection mapping technology to recreate the domestic atmosphere of the early 1900s.
The renovation focused on uncovering original structural elements, including 20th-century tiling and flooring, obscured by decades of subsequent use.
The Birthplace of Salvador Dalí is the 1904-built residential building where the Surrealist artist was born and spent his early childhood. Located at Carrer Monturiol 6 in Figueres, the site offers an immersive look into the domestic environment that shaped his formative years. The building features an audiovisual exhibition exploring the cultural and familial context of the Dalí family in early 20th-century Catalonia. Visitors can access specific rooms restored to reflect the period of Dalí's birth. The space serves as a dedicated cultural center managed by the local municipality to preserve the artist's roots. It functions independently from the nearby Dalí Theatre-Museum, focusing strictly on his familial origins rather than his later artistic output.

Combine your visit with the Dalí Theatre-Museum, which is a short walk away, to complete the narrative of the artist's life in Figueres.
Read the provided interpretive materials carefully, as the museum uses immersive visual storytelling rather than physical artifacts.
Do not mistake this site for the Dalí Theatre-Museum; they are separate venues with different primary exhibits.
Closed on Mondays throughout the year.
