Why surrealist artist Salvador Dalí chose to crown his self-designed shrine, the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain, with 19 jumbo fiberglass eggs is a mystery. But it's no secret that eggs, traditionally a symbol of hope and rebirth, were a major motif in the artist's work, says Montse Aguer, director of Spain's Centre for Dalinian Studies. A Dalí egg painting can be found inside the museum as well, as can the crypt where the artist has been buried for 20 years.
