Yes, there is a museum in Spain, The Dalí Theatre-Museum. It's very cool and very interactive. One thing that stands out is the Marilyn Monroe piece where you climb up stairs and look at a viewfinder pointed at the floor at a multi--media piece of Marilyn.
Here's a good link for all things Dali:

I first was exposed to Women in Surrealist Movement through an exhibition at the SF Moma. I bought the exhibition book "Women Artists and the Surrealist Movement”, Whitney Chadwick. It gives an excellent account of the contributions of women, from artist to muse. If you’re interested in this, I'd definitely check it out.

It was at this exhibition that I discovered one of my favorite artists, Remedios Varo. However, I also am infatuated with Leonora Carrington and Frida Kahlo.

Sun, May 28, 2006 - 10:43 PMWasn't Dali a notorious misogynist? Wasn't that all the symbolism behind the famous Philippe Halsman photo "Popcorn Nude"?
