 Did you know that Salvador Dalí believed he was the reincarnation of his dead older brother?

Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí y Domenech, otherwise known simply as Salvador Dalí, was born on May 11, 1904, in the town of Figueras, Spain.

He died at the ripe old age of 84 on January 23, 1989, in his hometown, close to the French border with Catalonia.

Salvador Dalí is most famous for his contribution to the world of art, particularly to the surrealist movement.

Dalí was not just famous for his artwork though. He had a particular tendency to play the fool, with his antics and bizarre lifestyle sometimes stealing the spotlight from his artistic works.
