Last October, the exhibition Gaudí, which has already received more than 15,000 visits to date, was inaugurated at CentroCentro, a space belonging to the Department of Culture, Tourism and Sport. Organised by Evolucionarte and CentroCentro and curated by Charo Sanjuán, it brings together more than 150 pieces from the most important collections of the Catalan architect, including plans, drawings, models, furniture, architectural elements, sculptures, ceramics and period photos.
The exhibition covers seven stages, from the initial projects such as La Obrera Mataronense, the Teresian School, Casa Vicens and Casa Botines, to the Sagrada Familia church – his best-known work – and the Palau Güell and the Calvet, Batlló and Milà town houses. Highlights include the plans for the project for the Sociedad Cooperativa La Obrera Mataronense, the cast iron palm leaf for the grille of the Casa Vicens, the original plans for the Calvet, Batlló and Milà houses, the hydraulic mosaic he designed for the main floor of the Casa Batlló, the general plan of the Temple of the Sagrada Família dating from 1885 and the photos of Parc Güell, taken by Adolf Mas, the same ones that were exhibited at the Paris exhibition in 1910. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office and on the website.
