We popped in here during our stay at the wonderful Hotel Duran. They had told us about this exhibition, charting the culinary history of Empordà, including the Duran family itself.

Included in ticket price for Dalí theatre-just show your ticket within a week. Very few people in when we visited. Each floor covers different things. There is a lift if you have trouble with stairs. Centrally located. Worth a look.

We found out about this place at the train station in Figueres. Entrance fee is waived with proof of Dali Museum ticket the same day. The person at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The displays are varied and well curated. Excellent experience!
