Personally, I felt that my time at the Dali Museum was extremely rushed. After the tour guide gave us about 20 minutes of a talk showing us the entrance and main center of the museum. There was really only 45 minutes. Left to see the rest of the museum. I could have easily spent three hours there, but felt that I had to run through it to see everything. For art lovers, that really go there mainly because of the doll museum, I…”
