Ria
★★★★★a month agoAbsolutely stunning. Beyond the genius and beauty of Gaudi’s work, the museum offers an interactive, enriching experience with elements that helped us step into the mind and life of the architect himself. It is impeccably maintained, the instructions and path were easy to understand, and the Gold ticket offered AR elements and entry to the Gaudi Cube (created in collaboration with Refik Anadol) and Gaudi’s private apartment. Cannot recommend this enough!

★★★★★2 months agoA wonderful visit to a beautiful Gaudi conversion where he persuaded the owners to reconfigure their home and add more floors. Gaudi was a genius and whilst I was familiar with the exterior from a previous visit, the interiors are incredible. Truly unique, fluid and fun. Great to visit this home before the Sagrada Família to see the lineage of his work there. Buy a drink on the rooftop and pause to absorb it all amongst his colourful chimney pots. Highly recommend!
