The Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation is a private cultural institution founded by the painter Salvador Dalí with the mission of promoting his artistic, cultural and intellectual oeuvre. (The foundation is also named after his wife, Gala Dalí.)

Created on 23 December 1983 at Púbol Castle, Dalí presided over and directed the foundation in person from the outset. His death on 23 January 1989 inaugurated a period of transition until, in 1991, the board of the foundation appointed Ramon Boixadós Malé president.

The Foundation's museums

Joint Projects

In the year 2014 the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation & D'Argenta started works to bring Salvador Dalí's paintings to the realm of sculpture. The inspiration came from several works of art, among them The Persistence of Memory, Masochistic Instrument, Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man, Metamorphosis of Narcissus, The Temptation of St. Anthony, The Elephants among others. The works are sculpted in the image and spirit of Salvador Dalí''s style and plated in silver & gold.
