Antoni Gaudí lived in this house for nearly 20 years, longer than any other residence in his adult life.
Although Gaudí lived here, he did not design the house itself; it was designed by his friend and collaborator Francesc d'Assís Berenguer i Mestres.
The house was originally intended as a show home for prospective buyers in the failed residential development project of Park Güell.
Many of the items on display, including the 'Calvet' chairs and 'Batlló' benches, were salvaged from Gaudí's other architectural projects after their renovation.
The pink color of the exterior was a conscious design choice to make the house stand out against the surrounding Mediterranean landscape.
The garden surrounding the house features an original wrought-iron gate and pergola-style structures typical of Gaudí's exterior design work.
The Gaudí House Museum is the former residence of architect Antoni Gaudí, where he lived from 1906 to 1925. Located within the grounds of Park Güell, the house is a pink-hued structure designed by Francesc d'Assís Berenguer i Mestres, a close collaborator of Gaudí. The building now functions as a house museum showcasing furniture and personal objects designed by Gaudí for his various architectural projects. Visitors can explore the preserved study and bedroom, which provide insight into the architect’s daily environment during his most productive years. The building showcases modernist architectural features characteristic of the period, including detailed ironwork and geometric tile patterns. It serves as a historical record of Gaudí’s domestic life, distinct from his larger public urban works. The museum is maintained by the Construccions Gaudí Foundation and preserves the original layout of the residence.
The garden area directly in front of the pink facade offers the best view of the architecture.
Buy a combined ticket if you are visiting the rest of Park Güell to save time.
The museum is smaller than most visitors expect, so plan it as a secondary stop during your park visit.
Visit on a weekday to avoid the peak crowds that congregate at the nearby park entrance.
Do not attempt to enter the museum without a pre-booked entry slot, as it has limited capacity.
Closed on specific holidays; check for temporary closures during the winter low season.
Photography is permitted, but flash is prohibited; maintain a quiet volume as the space is confined.
