    A Dream You Don’t Wake Up From Ever had a museum experience that felt more like a fever dream? That was my visit to the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain. Wild, weird, and completely unforgettable — Dalí doesn’t just make art. He is the art. I never thought I liked Salvador Dalí. Sure, I knew…

    A walk through Barcelona with the Master On my recent trip to Spain, I went looking for Picasso.What I found wasn’t just his paintings — it was his presence. His energy. Tucked into the heart of the Gothic Quarter, the Museum Picasso feels less like a gallery and more like a love letter — from…
