The Whale Attic & Espai Gaudí

Descend into the attic, structured with 270 catenary arches that resemble a whale's skeleton. This floor houses the Espai Gaudí, the only exhibition dedicated to the architect's life and work, featuring models, plans, and audiovisuals.

The Pedrera Apartment & Courtyards

Step back in time in the Tenants' Apartment, a recreation of a bourgeois family home from the early 20th century. Conclude your visit by admiring the Flower and Butterfly courtyards, which flood the building's interior with natural light and color.
