Casa Museo Gaudi

The Casa-Museu Gaudí is a historic villa in Park Güell in Barcelona that served as the home of the famous architect Antoni Gaudí from 1906 until the end of 1925. Originally conceived as a show home for a housing development by the industrialist Eusebi Güell that was never completed, the building was designed by Francesc Berenguer i Mestres and signed off by Gaudí himself. When no buyer turned up, Gaudí bought the house in 1906 and lived there with his father and later alone, until he moved into the workshop of the Sagrada Família. After his death, the property was first sold, before an association bought it back in 1960 and opened it as a museum in 1963.

On the ground floor and the first floor, you can view the collection, which is open to the public, while the basement is closed. The second floor houses a library, which can be visited with advance registration. The exhibition presents original living spaces such as the bedroom and the study, as well as personal belongings that recall Gaudí's life. One highlight is the significant collection of furniture that Gaudí designed for other well-known projects such as the Casa Batlló, the Casa Milà and the crypt of the Colònia Güell. The offering is rounded out by wrought-iron elements in the garden as well as sculptures, paintings and drawings from the architect's circle.
