We’re back again in Céret, irresistibly drawn this time by the latest exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne – ‘Eureka’ by Salvator Dali.
MúSIC invites you not only to explore their impressive permanent collection of instruments and music culture artefacts from around the world, but also to voyage with them into a universe of imagination, magic and dreams.
