About this experience
Antoni Gaudí was a genius who is now famous throughout the world, and he was not a one-off. In the late 19th century, Barcelona burst out of its medieval walls as the city experienced a cultural renaissance producing some of the most spectacular painters and architects ever, leaving us a mind-blowingly whimsical city.
Come and explore the life and works of Gaudí, and his contemporaries, as we visit the modernist side of Barcelona!
