Gaudí, orígens. Forjant la tradició

The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món (MuEC) joins the commemoration of the centenary of the death of Antoni Gaudí with an installation in the permanent exhibition at its Montjuïc site, which offers a fresh look at his family and craft origins. Starting from the link between his lineage and the old trade of coppersmithing, the exhibition explores how knowledge of metallurgy — the working of copper and iron — influenced his way of understanding architecture, space and matter. The exhibition highlights the figure of Gaudí as a creator who, before being an architect, was an artisan: a man deeply connected with manual tradition and with the wisdom of the trades. You can find more information about the exhibition "Guadí, orígens. Forjant la tradició" on the website of the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món. This activity is part of the commemoration of the Gaudí Year.
