Gaudí House Museum
The home where Catalan master Antoni Gaudí lived and worked for two decades, now a museum displaying his distinctive furniture and personal objects within Park Güell.
At a glance
A modest yet revealing domestic space set within Barcelona’s visionary park, the Gaudí House Museum preserves the living quarters and design legacy of one of modernisme’s greatest architects. The residence spans nearly 20 years of Gaudí’s creative life, offering intimate insight into his methods and aesthetic philosophy through furnishings and objects he designed himself.
History
Gaudí occupied this house from 1906 until the end of 1925, a period encompassing the final major phase of his career. The residence remained largely unknown to the public until 28 September 1963, when it formally opened as a historic home museum, allowing visitors to experience the architect’s domestic world.
What you see
The house contains original furnishings and objects designed by Gaudí, reflecting his meticulous approach to every aspect of design. The spaces reveal how modernisme principles extended beyond monumental architecture into the intimate realm of domestic life, with characteristic attention to form, material, and craft.
Cultural significance
The museum documents the creative process and personal taste of an architect who revolutionised Catalan modernisme. By preserving Gaudí’s domestic environment within Park Güell—itself his masterwork—the house museum contextualises his genius within both a built landscape and an everyday living practice that few architects have allowed us to witness so directly.
