La Gare de Perpignan (Perpignan Train Station also known as Pop-Op-Yes-Yes-Pompier[1]) is a c. 1965 large-scale oil on canvas painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí, on display in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.[2]
The railway station of the French city of Perpignan, near the border with Spain, held special significance for Dalí, who had proclaimed it to be the "Center of the Universe" after experiencing a vision of cosmogonic ecstasy there in 1963.[3]
