Gaudí House Museum, Barcelona

Discover the personal life of the man behind the architecture.

This characterful little orange house is the former home of Antoní Gaudí can be found inside magnificent grounds of Park Güell in the Gràcia. The industrialist Eusebi Güell commissioned Gaudí to design the layout and infrastructure of Park Güell, which was planned to be a gardened residential area. It is said that this house was built to promote sales of plots on the site, although in the end only two houses were built. Gaudí lived in the house with his father and niece for almost 20 years (1906-1925), shortly before his untimely death in 1926.

The building opened as a museum in 1963. It is surrounded by the trees and nature of Park Güell and has a very peaceful atmosphere, with lovely views of the city. Through recreations of some of the rooms, personal possessions and an audiovisual presentation, the house museum gives us an insight into the modest private life and religious devotion of the great architect. It also exhibits some original furniture designed by Gaudí which illustrates the evolution of his designs as they became increasingly functional, ergonomic and unusual.
