Barcelona Moderna. From Guardi to Picasso

About the Exhibition

This exhibition sheds light on Barcelona as a center of modern art and architecture, themed on Modernisme from the late 19th through the early 20th century. It addresses the period in which Barcelona emerged as a cultural center, showing how art and architecture shaped the city's identity. The main artists are Antoni Gaudí and Pablo Picasso, with signature works including Gaudí's architectural models and Picasso's early paintings. The exhibition includes about 40 works in total, mainly covering the period from the 1880s to the 1930s. Visitors can experience Barcelona's artistic currents through Gaudí's architectural models and Picasso's early paintings, and the exhibition's structure — combining Gaudí's architecture with Picasso's painting — is particularly noteworthy.
