Facts and practical information

The Gaudí House Museum, nestled in the picturesque Park Güell in Barcelona, Spain, is a vibrant testament to the architectural ingenuity of Antoni Gaudí. This enchanting museum, once the residence of the celebrated architect, offers a unique glimpse into the private world of the man who shaped Barcelona's skyline with his distinctive modernist style.

Originally constructed as a show house for the park's residential development, the building became Gaudí's home from 1906 to 1925. After his death, the house was converted into a museum in 1963, dedicated to preserving and showcasing his work and personal effects. The museum's characteristics are quintessential Gaudí, with its undulating lines, organic motifs, and intricate details that harmonize with the surrounding natural landscape.

Visitors to the Gaudí House Museum will find a collection of furniture and objects designed by Gaudí himself, as well as an assortment of his sketches and models. Each piece tells a story of innovation and creativity, offering insights into the mind of one of the most influential figures in modern architecture.
