   The famous surrealist artist Salvador Dali
has all of his bizarre and creative acumen
on display at the Dali Theatre and Museum
in the Spanish town of Figueres, but perhaps
most striking is the collection of giant eggs
that adorn the parapets of the museum’s
facade. The building houses the largest
collection of Dali’s work in the world, with
the egg a recurring theme in the eccentric
artist’s paintings, along with melting clocks
and watches of course, representing the                                                                                                                                            Top: Riverside

100 Egg Theme Park in
Vietnam
  Vietnam has found a way to combine relaxation and
wellness with the humble egg, with tourists flocking to
the 100 Egg Theme Park each year to enjoy its unique
mud bath facilities. This sprawling attraction has special
egg baths located sporadically throughout a beautifully
landscaped nature reserve, where warm purifying mud is
piped into the egg-shaped huts so that people can chill
out and absorb the area in pristine privacy. The park,
located in the tourist coastal city hub of Nha Trang, is
also home to a myriad of pools, fountains and nature
walks, so be prepared to crack your stressed shell and
rest over easy.

  Among the countless admirers of the decorated Easter
Eggs of the Ukraine known as pysanka, we are willing to
wager very few have ever envisioned stepping foot inside
one. But that’s exactly what visitors can do at the Pysanka
Museum in Kolomyia, with the central structure taking
the form of a massive easter egg which houses more
than 10,000 pysankas. The attractively designed eggs are
typically decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs
such as polka dots, stripes, flowers, and fruit motifs, using
a wax-resist method. In August 2007, the museum was
officially recognised as a landmark of modern Ukraine,          Top: Faberge
