Dali Museum

We didn't have a great experience here. There was one member of staff shouting at another member of staff and it was very off-putting. The exhibition is fine in itself but it's a private collection and not extensive

Beautifully located museum with a nice collection of prints, sketches, and sculptures. There is also a gallery, where you can buy one of Dali's works!

It was a pleasure to see some of Dalis sculptural works that this museum focuses on. Overall, the experience felt that it was more of a sales room for the additions that the benefactor reproduces from their ownership and copyright of Dali's works. If I was in the market to purchase such an addition then this place would probably be perfect.

It was a nice diversion. Great collection and very good exhibit. Neighborhood was very interesting as well. No giftshop. Took us less than an hour to review the entire collection.

There are two separate section. One you have to buy ticket which you can see more and the other one you don’t have to buy ticket but see less.

One of the most intriguing collections of Dali’s work, amazing sculptures and great description of the artwork.

A small museum full of charm and Dali magic. His childlike imagination and genius way of thinking is inspiring, joyful, and timeless. Even my children loved it.

First floor is free to enter for some arts. You need to pay for the full area exhibition. 16€ per person. 9-25yo are 11€ per person.

A great way to see a ton of Dali's sculptures in depth. They have more than just his sculptures of course, but they seem to be the central theme. While they did not offer an audio tour, all the pieces have descriptions by them for you to read. Certainly a must do for Dali lovers, however, I am not sure its a must do for anyone else. You'll probably spent about 30-45 minutes with ease. Connected to the museum is a small gallery where you can purchase his work or work by other artists inspired by Dali. We went during a weekday and had no problem walking up and purchasing tickets, however, I believe they sell them in advance on-line and that might be worth doing to avoid issues.

This was a nice surprise due to Small sign directing us. We had not planned on this. This is about Dali sculptures and there aren't that many. This will make you think about him. Small exhibition, 2 floors.

Find that friend who loves different art than you. Near Sacré-Cœur is a Dalí museum and gallery. 12€ to wander the couple of floors at your own leisure. There is plenty of piece descriptions and history notes throughout- written in both French and English. I knew the name, but had no idea his history or his range in art materials. The gallery had so many sizes of paintings and sketches. The sculptures were amazing, some with beautiful soft details, while others made you cock your head to really make sureyou saw what you thought you were seeing. The colors!!! The themes. An hour plus well spent. Easiest to walk to, follow the signs. Parking is limited and the streets to it are narrow.

This museum made me start to dislike Dalí... Tiny museum worth nowhere NEAR the price of admission. Man working there was super rude to us. Felt kind of cheated at the end.

Abbesses may be the closest Metro stop, but it is the epitome of hell unless you love, need and want a stair master workout on steroids. Just to get out of the metro station, you have to go up a small winding staircase for what seems like 5 or 6 flights of stairs. Once you have made it out, you still have to climb the Montmartre hill and even more stairs. I would recommend exiting the Anvers Metro stop and taking the Funicular to the top of the hill to Sacre Coeur and then walking down hill to Espace Dali. It will take longer, but it will be much gentler on your feet and your heart. Espace Dali has an audio guide for €3. You will need to leave your ID or passport in order to use the device. The staff will return your identification as long as you return the device. The audio guide is worth it because it explains why Dali uses certain symbols (crutches, drawers, melting time pieces, etc.) in his pieces. It also talks about the artist, his life and his influence on art and society at the time he was alive. Do notice that you pickup the audio guide on the top floor when you buy your ticket and enter the museum. You the proceed downstairs to the gallery. After your visit, you will work your way back upstairs through the gallery store and leave the building. As you walk outside, you will pass the entrance. The entrance is the same place where you return your audio guide and collect your identification, but you will actually have to leave the museum and return to the entrance to do this. Because Dali's pieces are so unusual and have so much symbolism, you really should get the audio device. It makes the visit worthwhile. This is my second time to this museum, and I still find his work and thought process intriguing. It seems like a lot of his work is actually for sale in the store gallery as well as art galleries in Paris too. Dali is no longer living, so a purchase of his work will be a last of it's kind.

A small 2 floors museum in Montmartre. Salvador Dalí is known for the melting clock. His museum is another tourist attraction place to see. There are not a lot of art works here to see. I am guessing it is not as big as the Salvador Dalí museum in Florida either. Admission is inexpensive. Note that some of his artwork are for sales and can be purchased. Most of them are just replicas.

If you're in Paris I definitely recommend going to Montmartre and visiting the Dali museum. They did a really good job storytelling Dali's work and life. Definitely worth the time!

I'm not really sure about this place because in one sense it is a museum that is dedicated to the works of Salvador Dali, but on the other hand you have the opportunity to actually purchase some of his works. In fact the suggestion is that you might even be able to purchase some of the really expensive works if the offers for private consultations are anything to go by. However, I didn't come here to purchase any art, I came here to check out some of Dali's works, and there is certainly an interesting collection here. Mind you, I wouldn't expect anything really famous, namely because they happen to be in the big name galleries. Worth checking out if you are in the area though.

Eeeeeek.... "insert heart eyes here" We purchased our tickets online in advance for a specific time. So we didn't have to deal with anything upon arrival. Literally showed them our tickets, and BOOM we were in! This is a very small gallery with some really fantastic pieces. SO WORTH IT. There is also a small gift shop that has some great items. Definitely worth the visit if you are a Dali fan!

An amazing way to spend your day! We have a Dali museum near by in St. Pete and I'm so ashamed to say it's always been on my list but I've never gone. After visiting the Espace Dali i am so inspired and will definitely be visiting the next museum. I saw people with audio guides how every all signs and information was in French and English. I learned so much about Dali and his art. I never realized how deeply religious he was and how it influenced his art. Lots of original pieces and art by Dali that i had never seen before. You can easily get lost and spend 2-3 hours in here and it's not that big.... just that deep

This is a very small gallery with some really fantastic pieces. SO WORTH IT. The town is awesome as well. Take a train ride over and check it out.

Yeah another Museum damn I must really love my wife because I really could care less looking at this stuff and dealing with all these people! So this exhibit is about some guy named Dahli, he was an artist with a crazy mustache..... and I paid €11.50 for this! The End! Yeah, I really don't care.... if you do read more here http://daliparis.com/en/salvador-dali/biography

One of my favorite memories of Montmartre was the musician in the little courtyard just outside of this museum. He enchanted my little girls with an instrument I could not identify and they danced and whirled. It was beautiful.

Incredible and unique museum! Well located not too far from Sacré-Cœur, this is a great spot to visit in addition to the famous basilica. The museum is filled with interesting information and history specific to Dali and his life. It includes paintings, drawings and sculptures...everything was fascinating. It is not a part of the Paris Museum Pass, but it's worth the extra money.

It's small but packed with works by Dali. Sculptures and sketches are everywhere. It was one of my favorite parts of Montmarte. I had a student museum pass while in Paris while I studied abroad and this was one of the few museums that did not accept it, although it was well worth the admission. I went back a few times during my time in Paris, I enjoyed it so much. Perfect for the Dali fan or anyone that wants to get to know his works better.

Having grown up with a father who was inspired by and loved Dali, this artist is one that is beloved. You will always be amazed at the intricacy of this man's brain. No matter how many times you see his art you always find something new. I found the "Unicorn" sculpture to be my favorite Dali piece and was happy to have been able to enjoy his art in such a beautiful setting. In my humble opinion, this museum is well worth the visit!

Impressive collection Multiple one-of-kinds Well spaced and varied Part of the fun of Espace Dali is making one's way there, in and amongst the nooks and crannies atop Montmartre that lead to you there. As you come upon the eye-catching facade (what other artist would be quite as good at being eye-catching and sharp at "marketing?"), you enter to a small counter for the triviality of paying admission and opting in or out for an audio tour...and down the stairs you go. Once on the main level, the space is an intriguing set-up, which matches well the intriguing subject matter. The space features both wall-mounted and sculpture pieces well. An added bonus is a church/movie theater feature with a bench to take in a reel of Dali engaging his curious and/or adoring public in a vintage exhibition in the vicinity. It's a cool hat-tip to the neighborhood, the artist in question, and the immediate medium of film that Dali loved so well. The sculptures Alice In Wonderland, Lobster Telephone, and Burning Giraffe were the most striking examples for my wife. I was taken aback by some of the vibrant use of primary colors in several pieces (such as "12 Tribes of Israel - Levi"), and was most impressed with Dali's ability to emulate other masters' styles - it was an almost offhand and dismissive proof to the world that traditional work was well within his artistic capability, but banal enough that even in portraying it, he was able to meaningfully add flourish and personalized, stylized nuance. Like Michael Jordan executing a surprising, perfect Kareem Abdul-Jabbar skyhook. "Yeah, I can too, but I change it and make it better when I do it." Genuinely impressive. Transitioning to the Gallery, post-museum, the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We dealt with a woman named Sara who was exceedingly personable, easy-going, and well-informed on myriad aspects of Dali. While she admitted to Dali not specifically being her ultimate favorite artist, she nevertheless was a wealth of expertise and was keenly suited to help us, which I appreciated as a sort of neutral third-party, while still a very capable one. Upon exiting, the staircase photos and quotes are a fun send-off with Dali's whimsy (and again with proto-marketing that was before his time). The gift shop has several expected finds, including those of the clever knick-knack and coffee table book sort, as well as a few other intriguing trinkets slightly more tailored to those with a specific interest in his time and interactions in Paris. Then back out into the Parisian day to reflect on the high art, general kookiness, and overall intriguing melange of collected works you just saw...it feels right to segue back into the bustling ebb and flow of the local bonhomie, absorbing the energy as he did.

A fantastic intimate exhibit, small yet complete. Take an in depth look at the works of Salvador Dali, cruise the space at a leisure pace and learn more about this great artist. We have been to several museums that house some of the works of Dali, including the Dali Museum in Florida, and never pass up on the opportunity to learn, observe and admire his work. A visit to the Montmartre is not complete without a visit to Espace Dali, don't pass on the opportunity to tour this small museum it is totally worth it.

5 stars! Quirky little museum chokey jam full of Dali's genius works! What a creative force!! Well worth the entry price to get inside Dali's head for an hour! Large bronzes sculptures, sketches, illustrations, furniture, photographs and more: elephants with bird legs, tigers jumping out of fishes' mouths, drawers in lamps and in many subjects. Of course there are plenty of melted clocks and Salvadore's moustache. Try the photo booth too!! Absolute must see!

This is a tiny little gallery - it's too small to call it a museum - with an amazing collection! Very well curated and labelled. I'm more of a renaissance and impressionist fan than of modern art, but something about Dali's surrealism speaks to me and it was a different religious experience following the Easter mass at Sacre Couer. It was also a nice quiet respite from the chaos of Tertre plaza. They have a gallery space that sells authentic Dali pieces and a small shop if the gallery is too expensive

A pricey ticket for a frustrating experience. I love Dali's work and I was very excited to discover them and this museum nested in the Montmartre village. Unfortunately, the place doesn't live up to the prestigious and artistic singularity of Dali's character. The lights are poorly displayed (too harsh) and the scenery of the art pieces could have been better. Nothing about Dali's famous pictures or videos except in a small corridor on the way out. Really, they could have done better with all the location and for 11 euros the ticket you feel a bit cheated. Note that their commercial approche is on point with tons of Dali's inspired things to buy but once ago the place is tired and the staff looks like unbothered.

This is an small, but we'll curated museum, mostly of Dali's sculptures, and sketches.

Intimate museum with a ton of Dali's eccentric works. Lots of melted clocks, drawings, sketches, paintings, furniture and photographs. Make sure to rent the head phones as the audio is very informative and makes the museum more enjoyable. Allow for about 2 hours in the museum if you really want to take everything in =)

I was really excited to visit this place because I love Dali's work, but felt really disappointed after leaving the place and almost felt like my money was wasted and as a tourist, taken advantage of. There are a couple Dali originals but most are reproductions and new artwork from other artists, inspired by dali's work. The price of entry is far MORE expensive than the entry for the Montmartre Museum. Unless you're a diehard Dali fan and want to spend a lot of money to look at one or two original pieces and then look at reproductions you can see anywhere else, I would not recommend this place.

A truly great museum of Dali's works, including sculptures and sketches. The layout is a bit funky - like Dali! - and includes some short movies with Dali or with Dali's work. I would recommend any Dali lover - or even someone merely intrigued with his work - to check it out.

I love Dali, and this was worth the visit. A small but dense museum. The sculptures were unique to this museum, as I have seen his paintings at quite a few other museums.

I didn't go to too many museums in Paris when I visited, even though there are an overwhelming amount but I really wanted to check out this one. And it really is impressive. I kinda wish it was a bit bigger, but I was really pleased with everything on display. All I really knew about Dali was melting clocks, which we could of course find all over the place, but there was so much more. I was impressed! I was really surprised to find out that Dali would draw things and have others sculpt it. I'm sure most fans of his already knew this but I found it very interesting.

I agree with Katherine L. below. This museum is definitely a hidden gem in Paris. Especially if you have the slightest interest in Salvador Dali and his work. The place is full of his many pieces and explains the common symbols you find in his art. However, if you're not a fan, there's a chance that you might not enjoy this museum. It's rather small and Dali's pieces can be a bit obscure or not pleasant to everyone. One fact that may spark your interest...Dali did a lot of work for Disney! -_- I hope that helps lol. --Located in the hills of Montmarte.

Very disappointing. Small. Expensive for the content. Mostly contemporary realizations of Dalí's concepts. Not illuminating. Feels like a tourist trap.

I was introduced to Dali's art many years ago and a friend took me here in 2011. Being new to his stuff, i was very intrigued by his designs especially the chest of drawers, melting clock and snail - which all were featured in this museum. Pricy ticket but i'd say its worth for the experience, only if you're an art lover. Its sad to read some reviews from visitors that they don't give a crap to his work. This is art, and art is to be appreciated. If you don't, don't visit a museum.

this museum was one of the must see spots on my list for my first visit to Paris. unfortunately, i was very disappointed by this museum for several reasons..... first it is quite small for the cost of entry. there are many works but they are crammed one next to the other,,no breathing room to enjoy each piece. the entire museum was painted black, which i am not opposed to if it compliments the art, but i thought it did the opposite, it cheapened the work. there was one sculpture that was inches away from a photo booth. why was there a photo booth in a museum to begin with? there where a couple very confusing works, tagged with the years 2007 and after. they were made by others,in a style similar to Dali as a tribute. really? i heard a conversation between a sales person and a patron interested in purchasing a work,,, it went something like 'these are made by Dali, but not authentic. but this one was signed by him'. i'm not saying that i think the work here is not real, however this bit of conversation added to my suspicion of why such a prominent artist was displayed in such a careless manner. it felt like a money machine in a high touristy area, more than a place to appreciate ones life work. there were many pieces in here that i was excited to see. but like i said they were difficult to appreciate. i would not recommend this particular Dali museum. hopefully the others around the world are presented with a higher caliber of consideration to such a prolific and talented artist.

Pretty awesome Dali museum in the Montmartre arr in Paris. Small and intimate, but has lots and lots of Dali's work. He was a very prolific artist that crossed multiple mediums, so I found myself surprised at some of the art that he created. I visited his "home" in Figueres, Spain and got to see the jewelry he created, which was such a treat, but in this museum, I adored the silverware that he made. It was such a tiny portion of the things offered for your perusal here, but they were very creative. If you like Dali even a little bit, this is worth the time and money!

Wonderful collection of Dali works. Much smaller than the Dali museum in Figueras, but a great little collection in an area where he once lived.

I'm a Dali fan and was really excited to be able to see some of his works at the museum part. There were many works and scultputes and I could have spent all day just looking. I had no clue there was a Gallery where you could actually purchase his artwork. The staff was really friendly and I actually purchased a piece that I really liked. Unfortunately, this is where the positiveness ends and the review becomes one star. The item was slightly damaged in shipping and the Gallery was not friendly in trying to make the situation right. They offered some options and when I finally chose restoration that they offered and that was in the contract as a remedy that was required to be offered, they then pulled that option and said they'd no longer cover that fee. I even spoke to the manager on the phone who tried to insinuate that I could have damaged the artwork and did not want to use logic. I don't know if the French have a different view of customer service than other countries, but considering you can buy Dali artwork elsewhere including the Gallery in Barcelona, I'd stay clear of the Dali Paris Gallery at all costs. It's really a shame as the cost was minimal and it wouldn't have been a big issue for the Gallery as they had even offered that and were under contract to offer that, but I guess they can violate their own contract at whim?

This was a great little museum. Excellent content, and not too pricy!

It's really great but it's so small I wish there were more art than this museum has to offer but still really beautiful to check out. Make sure to read the Dali quotes they have by the stairs, they're really awesome and hilarious! Best one "I am drugs!"

Small museum with a very decent body of Dali work including illustrations, furniture, and sculpture. In fact, the museum is so easy to digest that it would be a shame NOT to take the tour, especially if you already plan on visiting Montmarte.

Took a side route upto Montmartre and stopped at Espace Dali. What they lack (oils by the master) they make up in sculpture and sets of prints. The commentary gave a very good, if not excellent, overview of his thoughts behind his works.

Though the receptionist madame seemed rather indifferent to us (no surprise there) we enjoyed this fine repository of Dali's works in various mediums. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars because it was relatively small for the admission price (compared to say, the 3-story Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam), though nonetheless enjoyable. One of my favorite pics is of my then-fiancee and I on the curb taken by a very obliging and friendly Parisian right outside this must-see Montmartre attraction.

Terrible, avoid. No real Dali pieces, besides a couple early sketches. Filled with art "inspired" by Dali. Overpriced as well.

The gallery itself is fairly small but structured well to lead you around the various phases of Dali's work and career. Everything has a message. You may walk out shaking your head but it will certainly make an impression on you one way or the other. But I did think it was over priced so wouldn't really recommend it to anyone other than true Dali fans.

this place is amazing, Dali was really gifted and crazy this is why I love him
