“Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia” will be held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo in Takebashi, Tokyo, from June 13 to September 10 (some exhibits will be changed during the exhibition period). After the Tokyo exhibition, it will travel to Shiga and Aichi.
The Sagrada Familia Cathedral was designed and built by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, who became the second architect of the cathedral in 1883. This exhibition will focus on the Sagrada Familia Cathedral, which has long been called “the unfinished cathedral,” but is now on the verge of completion, and will explore Gaudi’s architectural philosophy and principles of form.
The exhibition will focus on Gaudi’s production method, in which he developed his concepts not only through drawings but also through numerous models, as well as his comprehensive artistic orientation that fused architecture, sculpture, and crafts, including the statue that decorates the “Nativity Facade” that he himself created.
