Once seen, his enchantingly peculiar works are never forgotten, and his enduring influence reverberates across diverse artistic fields.
The Sagrada Família in particular is a majestic edifice that has earned the moniker ‘the unfinished basilica’. Now confidently striding towards its completion, the cathedral embodies the enduring spirit of Gaudí's architectural vision.
This showcase delves deep into his broad artistic prowess, as manifested in the radiant mosaic tiles, ornate steelwork, intricate furniture, and evocative sculptures that comprise his extensive oeuvre. Over 100 drawings, models, photographs and archival materials are on display, augmented by cutting-edge architectural imagery. Together they provide an immersive journey into the enduring allure of Gaudí’s work.
