The theater is a rather peculiar building and fully corresponds to the unstoppable energy of the master, because he personally worked on the museum project. This room is considered to be the largest surreal object in the world. The rich imagination of the artist is visible even in appearance. The museum building and the Galatea Tower, named after the artist’s wife, Gala, are decorated with giant eggs, which create a vivid contrast with the dark red walls with gold flecks depicting loaves of bread. But the main element of this unusual structure is a spherical dome erected over the building of the old theater.
