History of Gaud\u00ed Experi\u00e8ncia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A relatively new venture that\u2019s made quite the splash within the Barcelona sightseeing industry since its opening, Gaud\u00ed Experi\u00e8ncia is helmed by three \u201cFounding Partners\u201d: Marcos Santana, Toni Cruz, and Josep Maria Mainat. Their popular attraction manages to make learning about Gaud\u00ed, modernist architecture, and the history of Barcelona both educational and entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of fun: Barcelona visitors who love to discover terrific photo opportunities will not want to miss the life-size bronze statue of Antoni Gaud\u00ed that graces a mosaic-covered bench within the attraction. There you can snap a social-media worthy selfie with the legendary architect, or get an adorable picture of the kids sitting next to one of the city\u2019s favorite sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaud\u00ed Experi\u00e8ncia<\/strong>\u00a0Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of a visit to Gaud\u00ed Experi\u00e8ncia is without a doubt the attraction\u2019s 15-minute movie, which uses 4D, augmented-reality technology to showcase Gaud\u00ed\u2019s beloved architectural accomplishments as never before. You\u2019ll sit down in a chair within a movie theater, where you\u2019ll put on 3D glasses, fasten a seatbelt, and be taken away on a \u201cride\u201d through the famous Barcelona buildings created by Gaud\u00ed\u2014during which time these iconic structures will seem to come to life before your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Gaud\u00ed Experi\u00e8ncia\u2019s interactive film tends to receive the most attention, the attraction also provides visitors the chance to examine two exquisite models of architectural designs by Gaud\u00ed. One is a replica of the so-called \u201cmonumental area\u201d of Park G\u00fcell; the other is a true treat for Gaud\u00ed aficionados: it\u2019s an incredibly striking model of a hotel Gaud\u00ed designed for a project that was to be completed in New York City (the hotel was never built).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you depart Gaud\u00ed Experi\u00e8ncia, you\u2019ll want to spend some time checking out the attraction\u2019s interactive screens. These large museum-style panels cover Gaud\u00ed\u2019s entire life, sharing insights into his designs, methods, and a whole lot more. All the materials accessible on these touchscreens are available in nine different languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
